The Shaykh : The silence of al-Bukhari in *al-Tarikh al-Kabir*, *al-Tarikh al-Saghir*, and *al-Tarikh al-Muttawasil* is not considered a vindication or validation. Likewise, the silence of Ibn Abi Hatim in *al-Jarh wa al-Ta'dil* is not taken as a validation; rather, one must suspend judgment and consult other books on the matter. If there is an explicit statement of validation, then he is validated; otherwise, judgment is suspended.
Yes.
