Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), “then the one who knows the Sunnah best,” does knowledge of the Sunnah here refer only to the jurisprudence of prayer?
Answer:
So that is what is required; what is required is the jurisprudence of prayer. As for the jurisprudence of zakah, fasting, and Hajj, that is not needed for the prayer. What is required here is the specific jurisprudence of prayer.
