Publishing Excerpts of the Bible and the Tawrah in Muslim Magazines

Question :

I often find passages from the Tawrah in magazines; can we read those passages or should we abstain from doing so; didn't the Messenger of Allah forbid 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, from reading the Tawrah?

Answer:

Magazines should avoid quoting both the Bible and the Tawrah unless it is of an excerpt that confirms the authenticity of the Prophet's Message. As for printing passages of proverbs or commandments for religious instruction, then this is unlawful, because the Qur'an is sufficient for us by itself, sufficing us from the need of any other revealed book.
