The Ruling on the Book Tafsir al-Jalalayn and the Best Tafsirs

Question:
He says: I am reading the book Tafsir al-Jalalayn, so is there any ruling for me in that, and what are the best books in tafsir? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
The book al-Jalalayn is a concise and beneficial book because it gathers the tafsir in a close and brief expression, so it gives you an immediate tafsir of the verse. However, it contains some ta'wil (figurative interpretation); it contains ta'wil of the verses of the attributes, because al-Jalalayn, al-Suyuti and al-Malili, both of them are Asha'irah; they hold the creed of the Asha'irah, so they interpret the attributes figuratively. Were it not for this danger in it, it would be a good book. As for the best tafsirs, they are many, praise be to Allah, and the best of them is what is on the methodology of the Salaf al-Salih (the earliest generations). Among them is the tafsir of Ibn Jarir al-Tabari, the tafsir of Ibn Kathir, and the tafsir of al-Baghawi. These tafsirs are reliable and align with the methodology of the Salaf in interpreting the Qur'an. Yes.
