How can one obtain an uncorrupted copy of the Gospel or the Torah, and is it permissible to publish it in the media?
The original Torah and Gospel are the word of Allah, but the Jews and Christians distorted and altered them, mixing truth with falsehood. The truth cannot be distinguished except through the Quran and . Evidence of their distortion includes their inconsistencies and contradictions, the presence of explicit falsehoods within them, in addition to the Quranic verses that mention their alteration of the words. Scholars have agreed upon their distortion, differing only on whether the distortion was in the wording and meaning, or in the meaning only. The correct view is that they were distorted in both wording and meaning. Therefore, it is not permissible to read or disseminate them, except for a scholar firmly grounded in knowledge and faith, in order to expose their falsehood and refute opponents.
