Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. When a person wants to cite a Prophetic hadith as evidence for a legal ruling, he says, "By the right of the words of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we say so." Is his statement correct?

Answer:
No, it is not correct. No one among the scholars has said this. They say, "We say so based on the evidence of the words of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)," or "The ruling is so based on the evidence of the words of the Messenger, or based on the evidence of the words of Allah (Mighty and Majestic)." Yes.
