The ruling on the hadith prohibiting prayer in seven locations

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, why did we specify the hadith
the earth has been made for me a place of worship and a means of purification.جعلت لي الأرض مسجدا وطهورا
Sunan Ibn Majah 567Sahih (Darussalam)
with the hadith of Ibn 'Umar, "He prohibited
prayer from being performed in seven placesأن يصلى في سبع مواطن
Sunan Ibn Majah 746Da'if (Darussalam)
," and considered all these locations except prayer on the roof of the House of Allah? Why did we specify the hadith with all those locations except this one? Even though all these locations were mentioned in the hadith
One, if the hadith is authenticواحد، فإن صح الحديث
, we considered all the locations, even if we did not memorize them all.

Answer:
This is what is required. The hadith was reported regarding seven locations, and other evidence was reported for these locations, except for the roof of the House of Allah, for which nothing was reported to support this specific detail. Nothing was reported to corroborate it, and the hadith reported regarding it is weak. Therefore, it remained on the original ruling. As for the others, they departed from the original ruling due to other evidence. It is not required that a hadith must be accepted in its entirety or rejected in its entirety. No, what has corroborating evidence is accepted from it, and what lacks corroborating evidence is rejected if it is weak. Who said that it is necessary to accept the hadith in its entirety or reject it in its entirety? Who said that?
