The Ruling on Taking the Qur'an Without the Sunnah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I seek forgiveness from Allah for you, O honorable one. What do you think of the one who says that he takes the Qur'an without the Sunnah, or the reverse? I say to them: You are liars.

Answer:
If he were to lie, he would have neglected the Qur'an and neglected the Sunnah, because the Qur'an contains
And whatever the Messenger has given you - take; and what he has forbidden you - refrain fromوَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانتَهُوا
[Al-Hashr 59:7]
, and it contains
(3) Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination. (4) It is not but a revelation revealed,وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْيٌ يُوحَىٰ
[An-Najm 53:3-4]
, and it contains
And whoever obeys Allah and the Messengerوَمَن يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ
[An-Nisa 4:69]
. It is not just obeying Allah; it is obeying Allah and the Messenger, and it contains
He who obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allahمَّن يُطِعِ الرَّسُولَ فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ
[An-Nisa 4:80]
. So they did not neglect the Qur'an. If they left the Sunnah, they did not neglect the Qur'an. This is a lie. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
