The halakhic source for writing the Book of Haftarot

In practical Halacha, writing a Book of Haftarot is considered part of the obligation to maintain accuracy in sacred writings. Maimonides in his commentary on the Mishnah (Laws of STaM, chapter 7) emphasizes the importance of precision in writing all Torah and Prophetic books. Although there is no explicit written obligation regarding the Book of Haftarot itself, Halacha addresses the Prophetic books and emphasizes the importance of writing precision, as they are part of the Tanakh.

The Talmud (Megillah 36a) discusses the importance of reading the Haftarot and the need for them to be read properly with vowels and cantillation marks, and therefore writing them on voweled parchment according to the Sofer tradition is important.

Furthermore, the Rabbis emphasize that a Book of Haftarot written on premium selected parchment with vowels in the hand of a Sofer is considered kosher, beautiful, and proper to place in a splendid case, in order to preserve its holiness and honor the Mitzvah of reading the Prophets.
