Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah forgive you, you asked Your Eminence a while ago about the hadithSunan Abi Dawud 4163Hasan Sahih (Al-Albani) and you said, "I did not have a chain of narration present to me." I have a chain of narration, may Allah forgive you. Abu Dawud said, may Allah forgive you: "Sulayman ibn Dawud al-Muhri narrated to us, informing us that Ibn Wahb narrated to me, and Ibn Abi al-Zinad narrated from Suhayl ibn Abi Salih, from his father, from Abu Hurayrah, and he mentioned the hadith."
The Shaykh:
Yes, there is no harm.
The presenter:
How do you reconcile this with the prohibition of applying oil, except for the description of Allah?
The Shaykh:
After this, it is not required, nor is it disliked. One may apply it once, or once a day, or after three days. The important thing is that it be done every day. This is a general statement, and it is qualified by other evidence.
