Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it true that the Sunnah completes the Qur'an? And what is the meaning of Allah the Exalted saying:[Al-An'am 6:38]?
Answer:
The Sunnah is not what is said to be a completion of the Qur'an; rather, it is said that the Sunnah clarifies the Qur'an and explains it. Similarly, Imam Ahmad was hesitant about the phrase that the Sunnah rules over the Qur'an; he was hesitant to say it and instead said that the Sunnah explains the Qur'an. Yes.
