Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the book *Sayd al-Khatir* by Ibn al-Jawzi (may Allah have mercy on him), what is your opinion on reading it?

Answer:
By Allah, it contains benefits, but it also contains much evil. Therefore, it should not be read by anyone who is not firmly established in knowledge and does not distinguish between the truth and falsehood, for it contains benefits, but it also contains much evil.
