The ruling on the statement that every existing book is good

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: What is your view of the one who says that every existing book is good, even the Torah that exists today? Because with it we can refute him.

Answer:
This is false speech, invalid speech. Every book is not valid; even books of sorcery, astrology, and distortion and misguidance are not valid. No, books are divided into two categories: valid books, which contain the speech of Allah and the speech of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and the speech of the scholars who derive the rulings of the Shari'ah from their detailed evidence. These are valid and beneficial books. It is not necessary that they be one hundred percent correct; there may be some error in them due to ijtihad (independent legal reasoning), or there may be some error in the speech of the scholars. As for the speech of Allah and the speech of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), that is the truth . As for the speech of the scholars, some error may occur in it due to ijtihad, but generally, the books of the scholars are beneficial books and have scientific value. As for the books of misguidance, they are invalid books, such as the books of the corrupt, the worshippers of graves, and the books of sorcery and astrology. These are invalid books that must be rejected and destroyed. They must be destroyed because they are books of misguidance. As for the Torah and the Gospel, they are originally two books from Allah (Mighty and Majestic). We believe in their originals; we believe that the Torah is from Allah and that the Gospel is from Allah. However, much of what exists now contains distortion. So we do not rule that all of it is the Torah, nor that all of it is the Gospel. Rather, it may contain some of the Torah and the Gospel, and much of it contains insertion and distortion. Even the parts of the Torah and the Gospel that have not been distorted are abrogated, abrogated by the Qur'an and by the Shari'ah of Islam, because the Qur'an abrogated the books before it. It is the one to which one returns and relies, because it is the book of the community from when Allah sent Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) until the Hour occurs. The standard, the reliance, and the return are to the Book of Allah and to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). But we believe that the Torah and the Gospel are two books from Allah, revealed. We do not accept the distortions of the Jews and the Christians; rather, we declare the distortions of the Jews and the Christians to be disbelief. We do not consider them to be part of the Torah and the Gospel; rather, they are inserted and distorted. Yes.
