The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to cite and argue from the Torah? And what is the tracing of the statement of the Shaykh of Islam (may Allah have mercy on him), as well as what is in the Torah, and so on?
The Shaykh:
We have previously established the principle in this matter, which is that whatever our Shari'ah has approved and agrees with, we act upon it. This is something our Shari'ah has approved, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) presented it as an approved matter. Yes.
The presenter:
He says: Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
The hadith of the three, the three from the Children of Israel, and when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) narrated it as an approved matter, it became law for us. Yes.
