Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is it correct to say that the Qur'an is in greater need of the Sunnah than the Sunnah is in need of the Qur'an?
Answer:
No, the Qur'an and the Sunnah; neither one is sufficient without the other. Neither one is sufficient without the other. If the Sunnah did not come with the Qur'an, the Qur'an would remain without interpretation in many places and without clarification in many places. Yes.
