Discussion of books on the jurisprudence of reality and da'wah methodologies

The questioner:
Or perhaps, Shaykh, please, please, I seek your advice on whether Muslims should acquire the following books or not, as some Muslims are calling for their acceptance. The book is *The Call to Allah: Between the Sunni Gathering and the Legalist Gathering*.

The Shaykh:
Yes. By Allah, I do not know this book. The man is spoken of in good terms; the man, 'Ali Hasan 'Abd al-Hamid, is spoken of in good terms. As for the book, I have not seen it.

The questioner:
*The Realistic Vision in Da'wah Methodologies*.

The Shaykh:
Yes, I have read this book, which is a thesis. It is fine, because it clarifies the errors into which some methodologies have fallen, and it clarifies the correction of the correct path. So it is fine. Yes. It is by 'Ali Hasan, yes, 'Ali Hasan or 'Abd al-Hamid.

The questioner:
The book *Separating Reality from Theory and Application* is also by him.

The Shaykh:
By 'Ali Hasan 'Abd al-Hamid. This book addresses the concept of *fiqh al-waqi'* (jurisprudence of reality) and deals with it from a Shari'ah perspective, distinguishing between what is correct and what is incorrect in it. Recently, a thesis by Shaykh Nasir al-Din al-Albani appeared on the same subject, *fiqh al-waqi'*, and the errors and correctness within it. Yes.

The questioner:
The book *The Followers* by Shaykh Bakr Abu al-Layth.

The Shaykh:
This is good. Also, another book by Shaykh 'Abd al-Salam ibn 'Abd al-Karim al-Barjisi is good, in that it clarifies the harms, violations, and dangers in this issue. He explained it with evidence and reality. Yes.
