Reading the Risalah of al-Mustarshidin and the Risalah al-Qushayriyyah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: There are those who study the book Risalat al-Mustarsheedin by its author al-Harith al-Muhasibi. What is your opinion of this book? And what is your opinion of the book al-Risalah al-Qushayriyyah, which I have purchased? Do you advise me to read it?
Answer:
As for al-Risalah al-Qushayriyyah, it is not suitable, because al-Qushayri is one of the Sufis and one of those who oppose the people of the Sunnah, as the Shaykh al-Islam refuted him in some of his books, in the book al-Istiqamah. And as for al-Muhasibi, he is also not desirable; Imam Ahmad boycotted him because of the ideas he held that contradicted the methodology of the people of the Sunnah. Therefore, it is not permissible to acquire the books of these two men, especially for a beginner who does not have discernment. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
