The ruling on reading books that cast doubt on the creed

Question:
May Allah bless you. This is Abd al-Rahman from Harimla, may Allah preserve you. We know that pure Islam came with the obligation to adhere to the two revelations, the Book and the Sunnah, and it prohibited their opposites, which cause corruption and doubt in the heart. We observe that some Muslims read books that cast doubt on the creed and the like. We ask you, Honorable Shaykh Salih, to guide these people and also to warn against doubting such matters.

Answer:
Yes. Some books are books of misguidance, some are books of atheism, and some are books of shirk (associating partners with Allah). Not every book is to be read except by one who is well-versed in knowledge, who knows the error from the truth and the guidance from the misguidance. As for the person who is not well-versed, he does not read in books; rather, he relies on what he has read, asks the people of knowledge what is correct of what he has read, presents it to them, and also presents the book he wants to read to the people of knowledge so they can see whether it is a reliable book or a bad one. Yes.
