Justice in Evaluating Books
Shaykh Salman al-`Awdah

A Great way to meet lots of muslims and learn about Islam. When you evaluate a book it is not from justice to say that it contains,
for example, fabricated or weak hadeeths, or eccentric opinions, mentioning
only its dark aspect and neglecting its other positive aspect, which contains
interesting beneficial instructions, or scholarly research. Surely, by
mentioning half of the truth and disregarding the other half, you are not
being just. For many, as soon as they see a mistake in a certain book they
avoid it all together and warn against it just because it contains a weak
hadeeth or a mistake concerning an issue. If we treat the people of knowledge
accordingly then we won't have any more books. We should not mention defects
in book, without mentioning its advantages if it has
any.
