Question:
Honorable Shaykh, regarding Tafsir al-Jalalayn, he says: I read from it. What is the Shaykh’s opinion on it?
Answer:
Tafsir al-Jalalayn is a concise tafsir by Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti and Jalal al-Din al-Mahalli, two scholars. It contains ta'wil (figurative interpretation) according to the Asha'irah school, including ta'wil of the divine attributes. A person who is well-versed in 'aqidah (creed) has no objection to reading it and benefiting from it. However, a person who lacks knowledge of 'aqidah should avoid it, because he may come to believe the ta'wil of the attributes contained in it. Yes.
