The questioner: O our Shaykh, there is a tafsir named: "Aysar al-Tafasir" by Abu Bakr al-Jazairi!
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: What is the Shaykh's opinion of it?
The Shaykh: I have not read the one you call: "Aysar al-Tafasir," but I advise that in every field of knowledge, the student of knowledge should return to the books authored by the early scholars who are known for their knowledge. As for these books that are summaries of some of the old books, they are merely a repetition of what was mentioned in those old books, with some abbreviation that may be flawed, or it may not be.
