Assalamoalikum, I wanted to learn if Qadi Iyad's Kitab Ash Shifa is a reliable source among Sunni scholars or not. I am asking this in the sense of the author's reliability and writings. Of course, some Sahih and Da'if Hadith references are found inside the book. Still, this question has a lesser focus on the Hadith references but rather on the reliability of the content in the book written by Qadi Iyad himself.

  • @Jamila Jazak Allah, I have bookmarked both of the links you two have sent, if it would be possible to write a brief answer according to the content, then that would be great for future readers as well insha Allah.
