Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says regarding the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), “Such and such prevented me from forbidding you from it,” does this not indicate that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) knew its ruling? Because he said, “prevented me.”
Answer:
Yes, no revelation was sent down to him regarding the prohibition of it, even though he disliked it in his own heart. But since no revelation was sent down to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he only conveys from Allah. Even if he may dislike something in his own heart, he waits for the revelation from Allah to be sent down to him. Yes.
