Is the book "Minhaj al-Muslim" by Sheikh Abu Bakr al-Jazairi suspicious, and is it impermissible to read it due to a flaw in its author's عقيدة (creed), despite its inclusion of important jurisprudential matters?

Our website does not evaluate groups or individuals, but we do mention general rules for discerning their true nature. The book "Minhaj al-Muslim" by Sheikh Abu Bakr al-Jazairi is a good book, and we are not aware of any doctrinal errors in it, nor in its author. No one is infallible except the prophets. Everyone's words can be accepted or rejected except for the Prophet (peace be upon him). It is sufficient for a person that their good deeds outweigh their bad ones.
