Seek Guidance from the Quran and Hadith only:

Some Muslims I know read the Bible and try to find guidance in it. Is such behavior permissible? Please explain?

Answer 389

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) replied to a similar question by
some of his Sahaaba (Radhiallaahu Anhum), 'Do you doubt (in your religion)
just as the Christians and Jews doubted in their religion (during the time
of their Prophets).'

He(Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) further mentioned, 'Even if Musa (Alayhis salaam) was alive today, he
would have followed me.' If Musa (Alayhis salaam) would not seek guidance
from the Tawraat (old testament) and Eesa (Alayhis salaam) will follow the
Qur'aan upon his arrival on earth, how then can one we follow the scriptures
of Musa and Eesa (Alayhis salaam). They themselves regard the Qur'aan and
Ahaadith as their superguide despite being the direct recipients of
revelation of the Tawraat and Injeel. It is not permissible for Muslims to
seek any guidance from non-Muslim sources. The Qur'aan and Ahaadith is their
only and best source of guidance.

Assalam alaykum,

I agree that our guidance is found in primarily the Quran and the hadith literature. The Bible ought to be studied for educational reasons, especially in the global era of religion. We ought not to be ignorant of the Bible.

Wassalam
