Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: You mentioned (may Allah preserve you) that if the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited something and then did it, that indicates it is specific to him.
Answer:
This is a rule mentioned by al-Shawkani (may Allah have mercy on him), and he repeated it in his book. I also think al-San'ani mentioned it in *Subul al-Salam*. This is a rule they mentioned to reconcile his actions and his words (peace and blessings be upon him). Allah knows best. Yes.
