Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: It has become widespread recently that people act upon evidence from the Qur'an, but do not act upon evidence from the Sunnah, because it contains both authentic and weak narrations.
Answer:
This is a false statement they have made. Yes, these are the ones called Quranists; they abolish the Sunnah. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:[Al-Hashr 59:7] So what the Messenger has given us, we must take it. The Sunnah comes after the Qur'an: first the Noble Qur'an, then the Prophetic Sunnah. Yes.
