Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some people say that one derives fiqh rulings from a single hadith and leaves out the other hadiths. Is this action prescribed?
Answer:
What may be restricted to a single hadith is when the hadiths are on one subject; in that case, it is necessary to reconcile them if one knows how. As for when each hadith is on a separate, independent subject, there is no harm in using each hadith as evidence in its own independent context. As for hadiths where a contradiction appears between them, it is necessary to resolve the contradiction, and this is not done by anyone except the scholars specialized in the principles of jurisprudence. Not everyone is able to reconcile the hadiths or respond to the contradiction; only the scholars are able to do this. Yes.
