Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And the Shaykh says: The author states, “From him, it is permissible, and it is permissible, and its value is made…” up to the end, to whom it is attributed, so who is satisfied with it, and from him. This is a common concept in the book.
The Shaykh:
“From him” means from Imam Ahmad; that is, when it says “from him,” it means from Imam Ahmad, the narration. Yes.
The questioner:
And al-Tashriq, the book al-Zad, and other books of jurisprudence contain concepts that indicate the strong and weak prayer, indicating that this is the opinion of the Imam or the opinion of the companions. If you mention that, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Okay.
The questioner:
And the book al-Zad and other books of jurisprudence contain concepts that indicate the strong and weak shaving, and indicate that this is the opinion of the Imam or the opinion of the companions. If you mention that, may Allah grant you success?
The Shaykh:
The default is that the books of the school are composed according to the opinion of the Imam, but if there is something in them that is not the opinion of the Imam, it is specified, saying “takhrij” (tracing), or “way” (approach), or “istishhar” (making apparent), or “necessary implication.” They specify this, saying “So-and-so made it apparent,” or “So-and-so traced it.” Or if it says there are two ways, or if it says there are two or three ways, it means for someone other than Imam Ahmad, for his students or followers. But if it is silent, it is the default from the opinion of the Imam according to the rules of the Imam.
Another questioner:
Or something. And what.
The Shaykh:
If they say for the weak disagreement, if even for the equal. Yes.
The questioner:
How many are with me, if Allah wills?
The Shaykh:
But we did not find a text in their words regarding this, but this is customary among people or among students of knowledge, and it seems to be by practice and following, but we did not find rules that specify this, such as “if so and so” or “if so and so” or “if so and so.” Rather, they said this by practice and induction. And whoever reads the introduction of al-Kashshaf, or whoever reads the introduction of al-Kashshaf, knows these terms, or reads at the end of al-Insaf by al-Mardawi, also, he knows the terms of the jurists and the texts of the Imam and the sayings of the later scholars, he knows these things, yes.
