Question:
I ask Allah to do you good, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Do you advise a student of knowledge to read al-Qurtubi’s tafsir (may Allah have mercy on him)?
Answer:
The good one is the one who has the capacity. He is in a vast sea. The one who has the capacity dives into the sea; this is the good one. But there may be some ta'wil (figurative interpretation) in it, though it is little. It is little. And most of it is rulings, and he specialized in rulings, or his book is rulings of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence). It has great benefits, it is full of rulings, yes.
