Is it permissible to describe the Qur'an and Sunnah as "heritage"?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it correct to call the Book of Allah and the Hadith of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) "heritage," especially given the existence of centers called "Centers for Reviving Islamic Heritage"?

Answer:
We are not aware of any objection to calling it Islamic heritage; because the Messenger bequeathed it to us, and Allah called it an inheritance, saying:
Then we caused to inherit the Bookثُمَّ أَوْرَثْنَا الْكِتَابَ
[Surah Fatir: 32], and inheritance is the remainder, meaning: it is the remainder that our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) left for us.
