Question:
May Allah keep you safe, Your Eminence the Shaykh! Regarding authors and writers who fall into doctrinal errors, is it appropriate for us to leave their books alone?
Answer:
As for those whose books have been tampered with, they should be left alone, except for the people of knowledge who need them. If the people of knowledge can distinguish the truth from falsehood, they must review them for the sake of benefit or to refute them. As for one who does not have discernment, he should stick to the books of the people of the Sunnah and use them, and he should beware of the books of the people of innovation. Yes.
