Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This Abu Khalid says: I am asking the Shaykh about the book *Ihya 'Ulum al-Din* by Imam al-Ghazali, as I am reading this book.
Answer:
The book contains a great deal of Sufism, laden with Sufism, and there is danger for whoever reads it that he will be influenced by it, especially the ignorant person who does not know Sufism, religious innovations, and these matters. So you should avoid it. If you want to read, read in the correct, pure books, and there are many of them, praise be to Allah. Yes.
