Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the meaning of this statement, which is that the Companions did not differ on the fundamentals of creed?
Answer:
Yes, all Muslims, praise be to Allah, the people of the Sunnah and the community did not differ on creed. They only differ on matters of independent legal reasoning (ijtihad). Creed is not a matter of independent legal reasoning; it is based on what is transmitted from the texts, so it is not a field for disagreement. Yes.
