The Ruling on Looking into the Books of the People of the Book
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it permissible for a Muslim to look into the books of the People of the Book, such as the Gospel and the Torah?
Answer:
As for this, one does not look into them except for a valid purpose, to verify something or to clarify it; there is no harm in that. As for merely browsing them, the Qur'an is the Book of Allah, by which Allah has made the Muslims self-sufficient.
