Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is every mursal hadith considered weak?
Answer:
This is a matter where they say that the best of the mursal reports are the mursal reports of Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib, who is the best of those who narrate mursal reports. There is no doubt that the sending (irsal) is a defect in the hadith, one of the defects of the hadith. Yes. But the mursal reports differ, yes.
