The Ruling on the Writings of al-Nawawi and Ibn Hajar
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: There are those who warn against the books of Imam al-Nawawi and Ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on them both), and they say: They are not from the people of the Sunnah and the community. What is the truth in this matter?
Answer:
They have some matters in which they erred regarding the attributes; Ibn Hajar, al-Nawawi, and a group of others have some matters in which they erred. In those matters, they are not from the people of the Sunnah. However, in what they adhered to and did not distort, they are from the people of the Sunnah, as are those like them who erred.
