Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the methodology of the people of the Sunnah and the community regarding the hadiths of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation)?
Answer:
Affirming what is authentic of them as it came, without intervening in them, because some people apply them to events and assert that these events are the interpretation of these hadiths, and this is an error. However, if he says, "I fear that it may be so; I fear that this is what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) informed about," and he does not assert this, there is no harm. But if he says, "This is the interpretation of what is in the hadiths," and he asserts this, this is a statement based on ignorance and error. Yes.
