What should I do with the book "Mukhtasar Tafsir Ibn Kathir" by Al-Sabouni that I have?
The summary of the is that Al-Sabouni, in his abridged version of Ibn Kathir, intended to simplify the original work for students by removing the chains of narration (asanid), repetitions, Isra'iliyyat (stories from Jewish traditions), and disagreements among jurists. However, he was criticized by some scholars, such as Bakr Abu Zayd, for his interpretation of Ibn Kathir's elucidation of the creed of the Salaf (pious predecessors). Despite this, the book is generally useful. For those who cannot distinguish between right and wrong in matters of creed, they can seek the help of a scholar to compare it with the original text and clarify any discrepancies.
