The ruling on what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did in the prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
To the famous one in Makkah, the imam of the Hanafis, that the state of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) indicates existence, so how did we take the state of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in the gathered group as existence and make them evils and advice above the parties? Yes.
Answer:
Yes, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Pray as you have seen me praying." This means that everything the Messenger did in the prayer is obligatory, unless evidence indicates that it is recommended. The default is that everything the Messenger did in the prayer is obligatory, based on this hadith, except for what evidence indicates is a recommended practice (sunnah).
