What is the ruling on learning the Arabic language from a center that relies on Al-Zamakhshari's book "Al-Kashshaf" in its teaching, and do you recommend other centers besides the Islamic University of Madinah for learning sound doctrine and the Arabic language?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is not advisable to study the book "Al-Kashshaaf" by Al-Zamakhshari in teaching centers or elsewhere, due to its containing the invalid doctrines of the Mu'tazila, its rejection of authentic recitations, its disrespect towards the Prophet (peace be upon him), and the abundance of fabricated hadiths within it. It is preferable to teach other reliable exegeses, such as the exegesis of Ibn Kathir and the exegesis of Sheikh Al-Sa'di.
