The opinion on authenticating the correct hadiths, in the fiqh of every hadith briefly.

The questioner : He saysThe questioner : Do you not see that your authenticating the correct hadiths, in the fiqh of every hadith briefly, in what will be published from "Al-Silsilah al-Sahihah" or the Sahih of the Four Sunan, so that the correct Sunnah comes out before the community, thereby making its fiqh closer, and thus being more effective against the literalists, meaning: taking the apparent meaning of the hadith without referring to the scholars' words in explaining it?

The Shaykh : Repeat the question.

The questioner : He says: Do you not see that your authenticating the correct hadiths.

The Shaykh : Your authenticating?

The questioner : Your authenticating the correct hadiths, in the fiqh of every hadith briefly, in what will be published from "Al-Silsilah al-Sahihah" or the Sahih of the Four Sunan.

The Shaykh : I did not understand this statement. You—allow me a moment—... a question, please go ahead.

The questioner : ... after every hadith in what will be published—Allah willing—from "Al-Silsilah al-Sahihah" or the Sahih of the Sunan, it would be more beneficial for the students of knowledge and for all Muslims... and it would make its fiqh closer and be more effective against the literal.

The Shaykh : Do you mean, in other words, summarizing the research at the end of the research, saying: From what has preceded, it becomes clear that the hadith is correct or good; is that it?

The questioner : No, the fiqh of the hadith... and the intended meaning of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) from it.

The Shaykh : I mean.

Another questioner : I mean mentioning the fiqh of every hadith briefly and concisely after every hadith you trace in "Al-Silsilah." One of us preserves the hadith.

The Shaykh : No problem, we say that our book is not a book of fiqh, that has another field, but here the question, I think, includes something else.

Another questioner : It is the person who asked the question.

The Shaykh : So, is this the only thing you intend?

The questioner : This is what I intend, yes.

The Shaykh : The answer you take from the title of the series; what is it? "The Chain of Correct Hadiths and Something of Their Fiqh and Benefits," something of their fiqh and benefits. I did not commit to it and I will not be able to commit to speaking about the fiqh of the hadith after every hadith, because this... the correct and clarifying the correct from the weak is what I am in... yes.

The questioner : I mean, do you not see that it is obligatory at some times to take the apparent meaning of these hadiths without referring to the scholars' words... do you not see that speaking about this hadith only, without... its meanings or the intended meaning of the Messenger of Allah from it, leads to such literalism that appeared at some times? ... .

The Shaykh : ... you say this statement about the Four Sunan, rather it is as if you are saying this statement itself about "The Two Sahihs," my brother, every field has its place, meaning you know that jurists recorded the fiqh bare of its evidence, and you find, on the contrary, scholars of hadith who mentioned the hadiths with their chains and did not speak about their correctness or weakness, and did not follow them with what you propose—and it is a good thing with no room for denying it—but this, my brother, requires a specific orientation and specific dedication, whereas to say that this leads to literalism and so on; then those who established this Sunnah for us, do you mean they erred in what they did? This is specialization, my brother, everything has its field, this is in the science of hadith, and that is in the science of fiqh, and there is another fiqh, which is comparative fiqh, which mentions the issue and researches it from all that has been said about it, then clarifies the evidence of each of the two groups, then prefers the stronger position in his view, this has its other field.
Yes.
