Reading the books of Moulana Shibli Nomani
Question
Who was Moulana Shibli Nomani? Are his books fine to read?
Answer
He was one of the founders of Nadwatul Ulama madrasah in Lucknow. Overall, some of his statements are not right.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
