Question Summary:
Maktabah Shamila

Question Detail:

Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,

Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Dear Brother,

Maktabah Shamilah is an online library containing numerous Arabic books on the various Islamic sciences. It is used by thousands of students and scholars worldwide and is updated every year. ^[1]

There is no salafi tahrif in the official version of Shamilah. Having used it repeatedly, we have found it to be accurate with occasional minor mistakes that are unintended (mistakes in the harakat, missing letters in some words, two words joined together, etc.).

If Shamilah was an unreliable source, then most of the Arabic books printed lately would also be unreliable, since many publishers copy the text from Shamilah, do some typesetting and then reprint it as a new edition.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
