Question:
You are asking Your Eminence, Shaykh Salih, about the book *Fiqh al-Sunnah*, and whether all the jurisprudential rulings in it are authentic?

Answer:
*Fiqh al-Sunnah* is a contemporary book in which its author has gathered a great deal from the statements of jurists and from the evidence of the Book and the Sunnah. It is not free from criticism; it is not free from criticism regarding the rulings mentioned in it. There may be errors in it, or fatwas that are subject to criticism, particularly contemporary fatwas that are subject to criticism. Likewise, there are hadiths in it that are also subject to criticism regarding their authenticity. Shaykh Al-Albani may have followed up on it in a book he titled *Manah al-Mannah*, or *Tamam al-Mannah*, in tracing the hadiths of the book *Fiqh al-Sunnah*, or something close to that name. The book is available, and in it he followed up on many hadiths, distinguishing between what is sound and what is not. The bottom line is that it is, in general, a book with nothing wrong with it, but it is not free from criticism regarding the rulings mentioned in it, or the contemporary fatwas included in it, and likewise regarding the hadiths it cites. Yes. May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you well.
