Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, when Aisha denied urinating while standing, even though it is established as in the hadith?
Answer:
She based this on what she witnessed in his house, and she built her position on that. It is not permissible to use this to deny what the trustworthy narrators have established. If what came from the trustworthy narrators had not been there, then yes, it could be said that she knew this from his house and from outside. But when the trustworthy narrators testified that he urinated while standing outside the house, it is known that she did not have knowledge of this. Yes.
