Now we ask: What is the way to know the good practice so that we may follow it and hold fast to it? And what is the way to know the bad practice so that we may avoid it and stay far from it? Is there any way other than the way that the Messenger (peace be upon him) brought, in the Book and the Sunnah? The answer is: there is nothing else, because he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ; therefore, the way for us to know the good practice and the bad practice is the Shari'ah, in the Book and the Sunnah. This is a reality that no scholar, a true scholar, can dispute or argue with, if his knowledge is derived from the Book of Allah and the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
