Question:
This questioner says: What is the meaning of the statement of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) that it is not valid to prioritize reason over revelation, and that there is no contradiction between reason and revelation in correct understanding?
Answer:
Clear, explicit reason does not contradict correct revelation. If they differ, it is necessary that either the revelation is not correct, or the reason is not explicit. This is a great principle.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
