Question:
Should we not derive from his statement in the hadith the ruling that there is no blame on the one who did not realize, whereas the one who did so intentionally is subject to blame?
Answer:
This is understood from the apparent meaning of the hadith, but the scholars did not act on this apparent meaning. They say that advancing and delaying are permissible absolutely; they did not restrict it to the absence of realization. This is as if it has no legal implication; as if his statement “I did not realize” has no legal implication for them.
