QUESTION: Peace and mercy of Allaah be upon you our virtuous Shaykh. May Allaah be good to you and May Allah bless you. Our Sheikh, there are some Muslims who say that the new Muslim should not read the book Explanation of the Sunnah of Imaam Al-Barbahari may Allaah have M ercy upon him. What is your opinion in this?

ANSWER: Peace be upon you and Allaah's Mercy and blessings be upon you. May Allaah reward you. The Book of Al-Barbahari is of the best books for clarity and elucidation and strength. It puts the Muslim on the right path and it is what the companions and Ahlus Sunnah firmly and assertively where upon with complete clearity. Therefore, the enemies of the Sunnah do not like it or betray it. May Allaah reward you with good and bless you, and grant us and you what His is pleased with. Ameen
