Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: How do you reconcile the statement that abandoning doubtful matters is a matter of precaution with the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan Ibn Majah 3984Sahih (Darussalam)?
Answer:
It means that he falls into the forbidden later on; he does not fall into the forbidden the moment he takes something doubtful. No, rather, he becomes bold afterward and falls into the forbidden. Yes.
