Translating the Shaykh's books into French with errors
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner from France says: Some bookstores in our country are printing books of yours translated into French, and I have found many errors in them because they have not been reviewed. Did you authorize them to do so? And what is your advice to us and to them regarding this matter?
Answer:
I did not authorize them to translate it inaccurately. I authorize whoever translates it accurately. This is their responsibility; they are accountable for it. I do not know. But you, may Allah reward you with good, should alert them to what you see. Yes.
