The answer

It is permissible for a Muslim to read the book "Bidayat al-Mujtahid" and benefit from it. Scholars, both ancient and modern, have quoted from it. Its author is Ibn Rushd al-Hafid, who is considered one of the great scholars of his era in Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), Usul (principles of Islamic jurisprudence), medicine, language, and other sciences. He authored many beneficial books, including "Bidayat al-Mujtahid wa Nihayat al-Muqtasid," in which he explained the reasons for scholarly differences, their rationales, and their perspectives.
