Reading books of ahlus-sunnah which are translated by people of hizbiyyah


Question:

In places of Fitnah ,amidst so many deviant sects, how should a muslim who is incapable of traveling to the scholars, seek ilm? The books which is has access to is published by people affiliated to hizbi organizations even though they be written by mashaykh of Ahlus Sunnah.

Answer:

One is not supposed to read from the books except from the books of Ahlus-sunnah and the books of people of knowledge. I think there have been translations of the salafi scholars in many languages, like the books of Shaykh Ibn Baaz and Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen rahimahumallah .. ..

(Questioner interrupts “the questioner asks regarding the books of ahlus sunnah translated by innovators”..)

Answer: It is not an issue except in the case when it is known that an innovator has deliberately distorted the meanings of the text.

Answered : Shaykh Abu Muadh Husain Al Hateebi hafidhahullah
