The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is the concept of contrariety valid in reports, as Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said when it was mentioned that these were veiled in anger?
The Shaykh:
Veiled, yes.
The questioner:
Yes, when it was mentioned that these were veiled in anger, it indicates that the believers see Him in contentment.
The Shaykh:
The evidence of contrariety is valid evidence. The concept of contrariety is a valid concept, and reasoning by it is valid, except with the Hanafis. The Hanafis do not accept the concept of contrariety, whereas the majority hold that it is a proof. Yes.
