Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : And what is your opinion, O Shaykh, of those who authenticate the hadith of al-Harith al-A'war?
The Shaykh : Is the thigh an awrah (part of the body that must be covered)?
The questioner : No, al-Harith al-A'war.
The Shaykh : It is weak.
The questioner : Of those who authenticate for him, O Shaykh, he is a Shi'i.
The Shaykh : This is al-Ghamari and others like him who lean toward Shi'ism. He can never be authenticated, and his hadith is not accepted... it is not authenticated; because the narrator is not authenticated, his hadith is authenticated. He is a weak man in the view of the majority of scholars.
