Question

Is the Zabur also considered to be corrupted/altered?

Answer

All these heavenly books, including the Zabur, have been changed and distorted by their followers. It is not permissible for a Muslim to refer to the Zabur or to any of the previous heavenly scriptures for guidance. The Quraan Majeed and the Mubaarak Ahaadith are the only sources of guidance for this Ummah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
