Is tafsir Ibn Kathir valid and reasonable for understanding the Holy Quran for followers of hanafi faith?

Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

Tafsir Ibn Kathir itself is one of the great tafsirs of the Qur'an, and any Muslim can derive great benefit from it. However, some of the translations (and abbreviations) of this great work cannot be recommended in the same manner--due to the biases and methodology of the translators and publishers.

In English, I would unhesitatingly recommend Mufti Muhammad Shafi's "Maariful Quran," a rich and yet accessible 9-volume tafsir of the Qur'an.

And Allah alone gives success.
