Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I find in some bookstores books by some of the contemporary scholars, some of whom deny much of what is known from the religion by necessity. They deny the punishment of the grave, building on graves, and the Hereafter, and some of them contain insults toward the Companions. His question is: What is your advice (may Allah preserve you) to the owners of these bookstores, and what is my role if I find such books?
Answer:
Your role is to take a copy of each book and bring it to the Dar al-Ifta (Department of Fatwa). Write a letter to His Eminence the Mufti stating that this is in such-and-such a bookstore, and that these books are sold in such-and-such a bookstore. May Allah reward you with good. Yes.
