The questioner : In the name of Allah, and may prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad ibn 'Abd Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family and his Companions). As for what follows:
His EminenceThe Shaykh : (may Allah preserve you), is the silence in "Tammam al-Mannah" regarding the authenticity of hadiths? And likewise regarding the jurisprudential rulings; does it imply agreementThe Shaykh : with whatThe Shaykh : Sayyid Sabiq held? May Allah reward you with good?
The Shaykh : The principle is so; that is, if there is a jurisprudential ruling in "Fiqh al-Sunnah" or a Prophetic hadith therein, and I remained silent about it without pointing out its weakness, then the principle in both cases is that I agree with the authenticity of the hadith and the establishment of that jurisprudential ruling, unless it escaped my sight, my review, or my thought, and the one who is protected from error is the one whom Allah protects (Blessed and Exalted is He).
