Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is there a difference between doubtful matters (shubhah) and uncertainties? Is there a difference between doubtful matters and uncertainties?
Answer:
The uncertainties are doubtful matters, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 3329Sahih (Al-Albani) They are not clear-cut; they are doubtful matters where one does not know whether they are from the lawful or the forbidden. So it is obligatory for you to avoid the doubtful matters until it becomes clear to you which of the two categories they belong to, or you ask the people of knowledge about them. Yes.
