Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, many, many people, when we refute their deviation from the Sunnah after explaining it to them, say, “It is a Sunnah, and Islam does not recognize extremism.” What is the ruling on that? May Allah bless you.
Answer:
If he says it is a Sunnah, we say: Explain it to us. Bring it to us, bring it to us, the Sunnah from its authentic sources, from the trusted books of hadith. If he proves this to us, we accept it with our heads and eyes. But if he says it is the Sunnah without explaining to us what proves this, his words are rejected. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
