Reading al-Fatawa al-Kubra by Ibn Taymiyyah and the reason for its name
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the questions that came to the program, Honorable Shaykh. We also remind you of the program's phone number, which the producer of this episode will display on the screen shortly for anyone who wishes to call the Honorable Shaykh. He says: Shaykh, I would like to read al-Fatawa al-Kubra by Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him). What is your opinion, and why was it given this name?
Answer:
My brother, it is not enough for you to read it to yourself, as you may misunderstand the Shaykh. Rather, you should read it with the people of knowledge. This is a good intention, but you should read it with the people of knowledge so that they can clarify for you what you do not know or what is hidden from you regarding its meanings and its objectives. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you,
