Refuting the Sufis in their use of the hadith of 'Abdullah ibn Zayd as evidence
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: How do we refute the Sufis who use the hadith of 'Abdullah ibn Zayd as evidence that dreams and visions are a proof in the religion?
Answer:
If the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) approved it, it is a proof in the religion. If the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) approved it, and this vision was approved by the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), then it becomes legislation. As for what you or anyone else approves, that is not legislation. Yes.
