The Shaykh providing examples and evidence that a hadith containing legislation is not contradicted by a report found in another hadith.

The Shaykh : So I return to say: It is necessary that many of you have heard or read of some writers today who argue for the permissibility of a woman traveling without a mahram based on what is in "Sahih al-Bukhari" from the hadith of 'Adi ibn Hatim al-Tai, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him glad tidings that Islam would encompass the Arabian Peninsula until the traveling woman would leave Iraq and come to Madinah without fearing anything. They took from this hadith the permissibility of a woman going out without a mahram. If you know what we mentioned earlier, that the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) informing about something does not mean that this thing is permissible; his informing about that thing does not give a ruling about it, but is merely a report. For example, to make it easier for you to understand this statement I made to you earlier, there are many, and very many, hadiths, some of which are clear in what I said earlier, and some of which need a reminder from the beginning. His saying (peace and blessings be upon him): This is one of the signs of his prophethood (peace and blessings be upon him), for you see today that some lands hardly remain free from turmoil, from killing without cause. Does this mean that because the Messenger (peace be upon him) informed about the prevalence of turmoil, that this turmoil is permissible? No one says this. But we move to what is more subtle, when it came in the authentic hadith in al-Bukhari and Muslim in the story of Jibril (peace be upon him) when he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the form of a strange man from among the people. The story is known and long, but the point of it is that this man, who was later identified by his saying (peace be upon him): . They said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: , so among Jibril's (peace be upon him) questions to our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was about the Hour. Do you know that the answer was: , so the answer regarding the signs and indicators was: He said: , this is a report from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Does this mean that it is recommended to build tall structures, especially this tall building observed in this time which involves encroachment and looking upon the 'awrah of women? Certainly, this report does not give legitimacy to building tall structures, and a fortiori, it does not give legitimacy to what came before this sign, which is . This was interpreted in two ways: One is that the slave woman gives birth to her mistress, meaning the slave woman here is in the sense of the slave of Allah, meaning the Muslim woman gives birth to the girl, and this girl is raised with pampering and an upbringing contrary to Islamic etiquette, so this girl becomes the mistress of the house because of her arrogance, her pride, and her tyranny over the one who gave birth to her, who is her mother. Does this mean that when the Messenger (peace be upon him) informed this report and made it one of the signs of the Hour, that it is a permissible or prescribed matter? It is not so. If you know this reality, you know that arguing with the Messenger's report that , this does not mean contradicting the hadiths that contain explicit legislation, such as his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): . Likewise, what we were referring to earlier, the dead person hearing the clatter of sandals and the people who buried him departing from him, this is merely a report, it does not mean permitting visitors to enter graves or those entering them with their sandals, but it is merely a report, meaning if this thing happens, the dead person at that time hears it. So why does this hadith not contradict the hadith of the two Sabbath-breakers? Do you know the answer? is legislation, is not legislation, but it is a report. Also, this hadith can be understood in another way, which is that the burial is in a place that does not require walking in sandals between the graves, that the grave mentioned, for example, is on the edge of the cemetery, so they bury and the people depart and hear the clatter of sandals. This is how the reconciliation must be done between hadiths that may appear to some people at first glance to differ. From the rules in reconciliation is what was previously mentioned earlier: a hadith containing legislation is not contradicted by a hadith that does not contain legislation, but contains a report, and this report is interpreted in light of the legislative hadiths.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
