Reading tafsirs that are not on the methodology of the Salaf regarding the names and attributes, if they contain linguistic benefits

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
You mentioned that we should avoid tafsirs that contain distortion of the names and attributes of Allah, but sometimes these tafsirs contain linguistic benefits that are not found in other books of tafsir?The Shaykh: There is nothing wrong with it, if this tafsir is not on the methodology of the Salaf regarding the names and attributes, but it contains linguistic benefits that are not found in others,There is no blame in reading it, on the condition: that one should have knowledge. As for the layperson, no; if it contains linguistic benefits, he should not read it; because preserving the creed is more important than preserving the language.
