Question:
This person asks, saying: I am studying in our mosque in America a number of books on creed, such as *Al-Qawa'id al-Arba'*, *Al-Usool al-Thalathah*, and *Kitab al-Tawhid*. Now I am studying *Usool al-Sunnah* with the explanations of our scholars. We are almost finished with the book, along with comments from our shaykhs and clarifications of what needs clarification. There are those who claim that it is not appropriate to explain this book, *Usool al-Sunnah*?
Answer:
I do not know the book *Usool al-Sunnah*. What is the book *Usool al-Sunnah*? And to whom does it belong? Who is its author? But if it is a book that is beneficial for you and for people, then continue with its explanation and do not listen to those who distract you from this or say to you, why are you studying this book? Yes.
