Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the evidence for abrogating the Qur'an by the Sunnah?
The Shaykh : Abrogating the Qur'an by the Sunnah. First: the absence of evidence negating the permissibility of that. Do you understand the meaning of this answer?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Good. And this is sufficient for scientific research; because the burden of proof shifts to the one claiming the opposite; that is, the one who says that it is not permissible to abrogate the Qur'an by the Sunnah must bring evidence, and without that, it is like spinning the thorns of the date palm.
The questioner : A difference in perspective.
The Shaykh : At the same time. Second: we find things that cannot be affirmed except by relying on the hadith; such as:; many scholars say that the hadith did not abrogate, or did not exclusively abrogate, but rather the verse of inheritance, the verse of inheritance, does not abrogate what the hadith abrogated. The verse of inheritance grants rights, shares, and specific proportions to the heirs, but the meaning contained in this hadith is that the testator is not allowed to bequeath to one who inherits from him; this is never derived from the Qur'an.
The questioner : It may be a bequest of a share.
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : His share may be a bequest.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is what we intended.
Another questioner : What is the lowest limit of the cause currently existing in which a person can lose...?

There is no bequest for an heir.
