Evaluation of the books of al-Nidawi, al-Mawdudi, and Muhammad Qutb
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is your opinion, Your Eminence, regarding the following books: *Tuhfat al-'Aris* (The Bride's Gift), the books of Shaykh al-Nidawi, al-Mawdudi, and Muhammad Qutb, and the book *Lata'if al-Ma'arif* by Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali?
Answer:
Every book, for the most part — except for the book of our Lord — is not free from something; it is not free from matters that are criticized in it, and it contains some errors. The student of knowledge does not take a book absolutely, but rather he accepts from it what agrees with the truth and leaves what contradicts the truth.
