Question:
What is your opinion, Your Eminence, regarding some of the newspapers and magazines dedicated to Islam that come from outside the Kingdom? And what is your opinion, Your Eminence, regarding some religious books, such as the book "Tanbih al-Ghafilin"?
Answer:
The believer should beware of any book or newspaper that contains what harms the religion or calls to corruption. Any book, newspaper, or magazine that publishes corruption, false propaganda, or destructive ideas must be avoided, as must obscene images.
As for "Tanbih al-Ghafilin," there are two books by this name: one is by Ibn al-Nahhas, which is a good and beneficial book, and the other is by Abu al-Layth al-Samarqandi, which contains fabricated hadiths and weak hadiths. It is not permissible to rely on it. This is the book of Abu al-Layth al-Samarqandi. As for the book of al-Nahhas, it is a fine book containing good advice and guidance.
