The Ruling on Mass-Transmitted Reports in Meaning and the Reward for Giving Land to Build a Mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. Is the hadith about the one who builds a mosque for Allah among the mass-transmitted hadiths?
The Shaykh:
What appears from the famous and well-known hadiths.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good, may Allah preserve you. Does a mass-transmitted report in meaning have the same ruling as a mass-transmitted report in wording?
The Shaykh:
Yes, it is definitive proof, and one is certain of its authenticity. And whatever has a sound chain, it is obligatory to act upon it, even if it is rare, even if it is scarce or a single narration, as long as its narrators are trustworthy and its chain is connected, then it is obligatory to act upon it.
