What is your opinion on the fact that the actions reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) are obligatory if they serve to clarify a general text, unless there is evidence that excludes them from being obligatory?

The Shaykh : Yes, let us return to the topic.
The questioner : ... meaning the bare action, or the action in its absolute sense.
The Shaykh : I did not understand that.
The questioner : The action that ...
The Shaykh : I did not understand that until you denied it. Also, you do not need this talk.
The questioner : So, my final word on the issue of Ibn Hazm saying: This action is a component of the components of prayer, and this action of his ...
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you, O Abu 'Abd al-Rahman.
The questioner : By Allah, I did not understand, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you. You are wasting your words in vain and repeating them to me.
The questioner : By Allah, I also agree with your opinion that I have wasted my words in vain, but I did not understand, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : I, my brother, what you denied—I said I did not intend it, I did not understand it. I understood that you were talking about an action in prayer.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And you quote, I repeat the previous words to you.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And that the expression is wrong, and that you quote from Ibn Hazm that he says regarding an action among the actions of prayer: This action, as you said, does not necessitate obligation. Ibn Hazm cannot possibly say this.
The questioner : In all cases, regarding all actions of prayer, our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you, May Allah guide you. Think about what Ibn Hazm says?[Al-Baqarah 2:227] Well, that this action or these actions do not indicate the obligation that is said to be necessitated or indicated. It is the command, not the action, that necessitates or indicates. No one says that the bare action necessitates obligation like a command does. But when he lists the form of prayer, in the expression of the Shafi'is, or among the forms of prayer, or in the absolute expression of the actions of prayer, he says this is not for obligation, not that it does not necessitate obligation.
The questioner : So the expression was wrong.
The Shaykh : And I am saying, yes?
The questioner : I have been saying, may Allah bless you, since the beginning that Ibn Hazm cannot possibly say this.
The questioner : Well, Shaykh, regarding the issue of "necessitates," in the statement: Does the action necessitate obligation or indicate obligation? What is the difference between the two?
The Shaykh : It is not said that it necessitates, nor that it indicates, but rather that these actions are not for obligation. Why? Because there is no specific command for them. This is the clarification of Ibn Hazm's words. Our discussion with you is about your expression of his words.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Well, but this. In many commands, it is said that this command does not necessitate obligation. Here a question arises: Why is the answer given? Either the answer is correct and the claim is accepted, or it is not accepted. It is not said that the action does not necessitate obligation; that is not what is said.
