Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In his saying:
as judged by two just men among youيَحْكُمُ بِهِ ذَوَا عَدْلٍ مِّنكُمْ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:95]
, does the Companions' ruling by analogy count as an explicit text, such that it is not permissible for anyone after them to exercise independent legal reasoning in this matter?

Answer:
Yes, whatever the Companions ruled upon is to be implemented as it came. Yes.
