Specializing the hadith "The earth has been made for me a mosque" with the locations where prayer is prohibited
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, why did we specialize the hadith "The earth has been made for me a mosque and a place of purification" with the hadith of Ibn 'Umar prohibiting prayer in seven locations? We considered all these locations, except for prayer on the roof of the House of Allah. Why did we specialize the hadith with all those locations except this one? Even though all these locations were mentioned in a single hadith, if the hadith is authentic, we consider all the locations, and if it is not authentic, we do not consider them all?
Answer:
This is what is required. The hadith was reported regarding seven locations, and these locations were reported with other evidence, except for the roof of the House of Allah. Nothing was reported to support this specific part, and nothing was reported to corroborate it. It is the hadith that was reported with the weak chain. So, therefore, it remained on the original ruling; it remained on the original ruling. As for what came before it, it departed from the original ruling due to other evidence. It is not required that the hadith must be accepted in its entirety or rejected in its entirety. We accept from it what has corroborating evidence, and we reject from it what has no corroborating evidence if it is weak. Who said that the hadith must be accepted in its entirety and not rejected in its entirety? Yes.
