Translation of Saheeh Bukhari by Dr. Muhsin Khan
Question
I have a pdf copy of Sahih Al- Bukhari which is translated by Dr Muhsin Khan. His hadith can be found on Sunnah.com. I just wanted to inquire if his translation is correct and if I can follow hadith translated by him.
Answer
We do not know much of this person. The little that we know of him makes us feel that he is not a reliable person. Furthermore, these kitaabs are more for academic purposes. They will only be appreciated if they are learnt under some well-experienced person.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

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.
