The Shaykh’s (may Allah have mercy on him) position regarding the opinion of a Companion.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: [An-Nisa 4:59] , so we have no evidence in the Sunnah, let alone in the Qur'an, that if a Companion holds an opinion, we must follow it. This does not exist. Nor is there scholarly consensus among the Muslims on this matter, such that it could be said, "We follow him and do not contradict his path." This is my position regarding your question.
The questioner: Your Eminence, the Shaykh, this is a jurisprudential question outside the scope of the topic... regarding placing the hand on the chest after bowing, Shaykh Ibn Baz holds the view...
The Shaykh: I see, given the limited time, that we should prioritize questions related to the lesson. If those run out and we still have time...
The questioner: If Allah wills, they will not run out.
The Shaykh: We will turn to answering the other questions.
The questioner: Because this question is important, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh: No harm, as you can see, it is just my personal opinion.
And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger
فَإِنْ تَنَازَعْتُمْ فِي شَيْءٍ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِThe questioner: Your Eminence, the Shaykh, this is a jurisprudential question outside the scope of the topic... regarding placing the hand on the chest after bowing, Shaykh Ibn Baz holds the view...
