Mentioning other errors in the book "The Book and the Qur'an by Shahrour," along with the issue of the face which al-Tuwijiri refuted

The questioner : ... those who saw the book and it spread among the people. I heard from people, for example, do you know Abu Faisal al-Mufashi? ... from ... Abu Amin, the friend of Abu Sulayman
The Shaykh : Do they know Abu Amin?
The questioner : From ... I say that in the book it is permissible for women to swim with men. In the book, he says that a girl's 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) is only the two private parts and a little of the breasts, and the rest of it is all permissible to show, meaning either to mahram (a relative one may not marry) or to everyone. He said if she passes in front of her father or her brother, he says to her, "It is shameful, my daughter," but ...
The Shaykh : Look, one thing brings up another. Do not be surprised; among us, among the good, religious Muslims, I have here a book I am responding to. Our brother Ali al-Halabi knows it. It is al-Tuwijiri's book. Look at what is written: "The Famous Sword in Refuting" whom? "the People of Tabarruj (a woman's display of her adornment) and Uncovering". This is a refutation of me, a specific refutation, because I say that a woman's face is not 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered). This whole book is almost for this aspect. Incidentally, it is reported from al-Nawawi that he says a woman's 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) in relation to her mahram (a relative one may not marry), let alone other women, is what is between the navel and the knee. That means it is permissible for a woman to show herself to her brother, her maternal uncle, or her paternal uncle from the navel to the knee. All of this upper part is not 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered). From whom is this reported? From al-Nawawi. And in the books of the Hanbali school, which is the school of this man named al-Tuwijiri, it is permissible for a Muslim woman to show herself to a Christian woman as well. It is not only a Muslim woman. So it is possible that this misguided man finds a basis for his deviations in some of the deviant schools that deviate from the Book and the Sunnah. In any case, the book is very dangerous. It is not permissible to publish it, and it is not permissible to print it. It has dangerous and very dangerous aspects, because the man has no religion, no morals, and no knowledge. Therefore, he cuts to suit his own taste.
al-Halabi: Our Shaykh, your last statement was about "The Book and the Qur'an," because the discussion just now was about the refutation of al-Tuwijiri.
The Shaykh : Well done.
