The Ruling on Reading the Book of Stories of the Prophets
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is your opinion regarding the book *Stories of the Prophets* and reading it to the congregation after the 'Asr prayer or before the 'Isha' prayer?
Answer:
We must know who the author is; is he trustworthy and does he transmit from reliable sources? If so, there is nothing wrong with reading it to the gathering. However, if the author is not at the level of knowledge, or has a bad creed, or transmits incorrect stories, then it is not to be read. The book must be examined by some scholars to see their opinion of it. Yes.
