Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the statement that “everything is taken from the words of Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) and rejected, except the one of this grave” applicable only to jurisprudential issues of independent legal reasoning, and not to creedal issues?
Answer:
There is no disagreement in creedal issues. They are not a field for taking and rejecting, because they are established. They are based on divine revelation. This applies only to jurisprudential issues. Everything is taken from his words that agrees with the evidence, and rejected is what contradicts the evidence. This was the intention of Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him). Yes.
