Short answer

With respect, and with the Qur'an as the measure. A Muslim believes in the Torah God (﷾) gave Moses and the Injil God (﷾) gave Jesus (the Gospel he preached). The Qur'an never tells him to follow the Bible as it now stands. It calls itself a guardian over the earlier books, and it says men changed some of their words. So a Muslim tests each passage against the Qur'an. Where the Bible teaches one God (﷾), the prophets, the moral law and the judgement, he sees the old revelation still speaking. Where it contradicts the Qur'an or itself, or charges a prophet with grave sins, he sees the work of men. The Prophet (ﷺ) told Muslims neither to believe nor to deny what the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) read to them. Scholars apply this where the Qur'an is silent. A Muslim need not defend every line of it.
