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 say: They are not from the people of the Sunnah and the community. What is the truth in that?
Answer:
They have things in which they erred regarding the attributes: Ibn Hajar, al-Nawawi, and a group of others. In these matters, they are not from the people of the Sunnah. However, in what they preserved and did not distort, they are from the people of the Sunnah, as are those like them who erred.
