The Ruling on Keeping Books of the People of Innovation and Reading Them

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible for a Muslim to keep books of the people of innovation in his library and read them occasionally?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible for him unless his intention is to know what falsehood is in them in order to refute it and warn against it. Yes.
