Is it recommended to read and rely on the books of Sheikh Muhammad Sa'id Ramadan al-Bouti, and what is the extent of their credibility, taking into account the difficulty of finding other Islamic books in Australia?
The best books for a student of knowledge are the Book of Allah, then authentic books of , then reliable interpretations and commentaries on Hadith, and books on the fiqh (jurisprudence) of the imams of the four schools of thought. These books are available in Al-Maktaba Al-Shamilah and other online libraries. One can benefit from the books of Sheikh Muhammad Sa'id Al-Bouti, while being devoted to the truth and referring to trustworthy scholars to correct any potential errors. One must ask Allah for guidance to the truth, just as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to supplicate: "O Allah, Lord of Jibril, Mika'il, and Israfil, Creator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen, You judge between Your servants concerning that wherein they differ. Guide me to the truth concerning that wherein they differed, by Your permission. Verily, You guide whom You will to a straight path."
