The answer

The Torah and the Gospel are the words of God, but the Jews and Christians distorted them, altered them, added to them, and subtracted from them. This is evidenced by their discrepancies and contradictions, and by Allah's saying: "Among those who are Jews, some distort words from their [original] places," "and they speak untruth about Allah while they know," "and they say, 'This is from Allah,' but it is not from Allah," "Why do you mix truth with falsehood and conceal the truth while you know?"

It cannot be definitively asserted that they contain similar boundaries to the Qur'an, however, it is confirmed that the verse of stoning (rajm) is found in them, as in the of Abdullah ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him).

The Qur'an did not specify a punishment for every sin, but rather for some transgressions.

The warns against studying these books, as narrated by Ahmad and Al-Bayhaqi from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
