Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, this question says: In some publishing houses and periodic book fairs, books are sold that claim to renew Islam according to the contemporary time. Why are they not prevented from being sold? Or removed from these fairs, and these printing houses regulated so that they are prevented from printing such books, knowing that some of them call for division and deviation.
Answer:
You should write down the names of these books and put them in a list, and write a letter to His Eminence the Mufti along with it, and submit it to the Mufti. He will look into them, if Allah wills, or refer them to the Permanent Committee. This is the procedure followed now. Yes.
