Why isn't Sheikh Ihsan Ilahi Zahir mentioned on the website, despite his sacrifices in defending Islam, the Sunnah, and the Companions? And why are some individuals or books that have doctrinal reservations written about positively or made available for search, such as some of the people of Sufism and I'tizal, and Tafsir al-Jalalayn? Is it true that the book Riyadh al-Salihin is relied upon for transmitting authentic hadiths despite containing weak hadiths?

The website thanks the questioner for his observations and clarifies that translating some scholars and not others is not due to negligence but rather to the impossibility of encompassing all scholars. Often, those who are asked about are the ones translated. As for quoting from individuals and books that contain doctrinal errors, these are pointed out if the context requires it; otherwise, it is not possible to point out every error in every book or for every scholar. Regarding the book "Riyadh Al-Salihin," the presence of some weak hadiths does not contradict its reliance on authentic hadiths, especially since these hadiths are often subject to scholarly disagreement regarding their authentication or weakening, and the book does not contain severely weak hadiths.
