Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Among the principles of Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) is adopting the mursal hadith and the weak hadith before analogical reasoning (qiyas). We hope for an explanation of this issue?
Answer:
Yes. Imam Ahmad says that analogical reasoning (qiyas) is like carrion; only the one in dire necessity eats from it. So if no hadith is found, even if it is weak, then one proceeds by analogical reasoning (qiyas). Yes.
