Mufti saab ,

Is it permissible to study other religion books for dawah purposes like hindu or christian books , even though we are not aalims.

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

It is advisable to obtain literature of Ulama who dealt with issues of Hindus and Christians for da`wah purposes. Marhoom Ahmad Deedat (Rahmatullahi Alaihi) benifitted by reading the Izharul Haq of Moulana Kiranwi (Rahmatullahi Alaihi). He acknowledged this in many of his publications.

And Allah knows best
