Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the position of the people of the Sunnah and the community regarding what occurred among the noble Companions, namely Mu'awiyah, 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, al-Husayn, and Yazid (may Allah be pleased with them all)?
Answer:
They do not intervene in what occurred among the Companions; rather, they refrain from it and say that they were exercising independent legal reasoning (ijtihad). Some were correct in their reasoning and receive two rewards, while others were mistaken in their reasoning and receive one reward. They excuse the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them).
