Acting on the Hadith of al-Muqdam in Front of the Common People
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: May Allah preserve you, regarding the hadith of al-Muqdam ibn Ma'di Karib, is it permissible for me to act upon it in front of the common Muslims?
The Shaykh:
What is it?
The questioner:
Perhaps it is the one that was reported, O Shaykh, where the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delayed rinsing the nose for sniffing water after washing the face.
The Shaykh:
What is preferable? It is preferable that you take what is in the authentic collections and what the trustworthy narrators are upon, and begin with rinsing the mouth and sniffing water. Do not go to the problematic matters; avoid the problematic matters. May Allah heal you from the problematic and the anomalous, and from… Yes.
