Question:
And may Allah bless you. Honorable Shaykh, this is an Egyptian resident in Riyadh. He says: Shaykh Salih, I heard that the books of the scholar Ibn Daqiq al-Eid, who is considered one of the prominent scholars, have some observations made on them. So we would like to start first with a brief account of this man's life and his most prominent books.
Answer:
This man, the Imam and scholar Ibn Daqiq al-Eid (may Allah have mercy on him), is a great Imam and a hadith scholar among the hadith scholars. He has books that are relied upon by the scholars, including Sharh al-Umdah (Commentary on al-Umdah), which is a famous book, and he has other books, including al-Imam in the hadiths of rulings. He is a great Imam. So the one who says there are observations on his books should state these observations and explain them. There is no one who is infallible except the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The scholar is not infallible; he may make a mistake, but his mistake is forgiven, as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan an-Nasa'i 5381Sahih (Darussalam) If he was qualified for ijtihad and capable of ijtihad, then the mistake he did not intend is forgiven. But the questioner must specify the observations he mentioned or transmitted from others. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good,
