Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He said: If the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them all) agreed on the intention of sexual intercourse, how can there be two narrations from Imam Ahmad on this?
Answer:
It is possible for there to be two narrations from Imam Ahmad, because one derivation is taken from the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan al-Bayhaqi 15:1235, which is a derivation from the hadith. However, the correct view from Imam Ahmad is the first narration, which is that he erred. A mujtahid (scholar qualified to derive rulings) may state a position, and the evidence may be contrary to it. Ahmad and others are among the mujtahids in this matter; one strives and errs, and one strives and makes a mistake. Yes.
