Hâl of Muhammad Mustafâ al-A’zami

Question 384:
What is the hâl of Muhammad Mustafâ al-A’zami and his works, in order to make it clear whether we can read and propagate his books like :

– The History of the Quranic Text from Revelation to Compilation
– Studies In Early Hadith Literature
– Studies In Hadith Methodology And Literature
– On Schacht’s Origins of Muhammadan Jurisprudence
– Isnâd and its significance

Answer:

His books are not relied upon and this is how our Shaykh Muqbil rahimahullah used to say. So the person is not straight in his manhaj.
