First volume of Al Qurtubi's (rah) tafsir by Aisha Bewley is translated. It was mentioned that the other translation was Salafi as a warning so it should come as a fair warning than that she is a Murabit. The translation is abridged and I remember reading here that unfortunately it was some matters of fiqh that were omitted.

Assalamu alaykum WR WB brother Muhammad Mufti,

Sorry for my ignorance, but a couple of questions:

1. What is a murabit?
2. Is that something to be warned of?

My understanding is she is accepted for her translation works and she is even supported on Sunnipath.com.

This is related to this thread as i didn't see why her work required a warning. Regarding the abridgement, which is a fair point but obviously not something to be warned off (not that you were warning of it being abridged).

This murabit issue, isn't it just a tasawuf silsila that links to Abdul Qadir as-sufi?
