Reading and sharing Ibn Uthaymeen’s posts
Question
Please comment on Ibn Uthaymeen, and if we can read/share his quotes.
Answer
Ibn Uthaymeen is a Salafi that studied Bukhari and books of Ibn Taymiyyah under Sheikh Bin Baaz. [Biography of Ibn Uthaymeen recorded in his commentary of Riyaad-us-Saaliheen Pg.13] We, therefore, advise abstention from reading any of his literature and sharing them, as we are not firm in our knowledge and can easily be influenced by their beliefs.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
