Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Another questioner says: What is your opinion on *Tafsir al-Dhala'il* by Sayyid Qutb? Is it one of the scientific references?
Answer:
Praise be to Allah. We have what suffices us from the tafsirs: the tafsirs of the imams, the scientific tafsirs, such as the tafsir of Ibn Jarir, the tafsir of Ibn Kathir, and the tafsir of al-Baghawi. These are the well-known, famous tafsirs. We do not need the contemporary tafsirs. If there is any good in them, it is found in the old books. And if there are deviations in them, we do not accept them. So you compare what is in *Tafsir Dhala'il al-Qur'an* with the previous tafsirs, the tafsirs of the Salaf. If it agrees with them, it is valid. If it contradicts them, leave it. Yes, the standard is these old tafsirs of the Salaf. This is the standard. Yes.
