The Ruling on Authentic Hadiths Whose Meaning Is Not Understood
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) asked: Are there any hadiths regarding what the *rukhous* (soft parts) feel, even though they are authenticated?
Answer:
There may be things in them that are ambiguous, whose meaning we do not know, while some of the select scholars who are firmly grounded in knowledge do know it. Not everyone is on the same level; knowledge is a relative matter, and some may grasp it. For this reason, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 3329Sahih (Al-Albani) This indicates that there are those who know, but many people do not know this matter. As for the scholars who are firmly grounded in knowledge, they know this ambiguous matter. There is no doubt that people’s knowledge differs. Yes.

What is lawful is clear and what is unlawful is clear, but between them are certain doubtful things
إن الحلال بين، وإن الحرام بين، وبينهما أمور مشتبهات لا يعلمهن كثير من الناس،
