A summary from Shaykh Al-Albani that the Tahrir Party assigns great weight to reason in legal matters.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The summary is this: It appears—this is not written, but from the way they discuss—that they assign weight to reason, as is the case today with the Shi'ah, and as it was in the past with the Mu'tazilah. You mention that the sources of legislation for the Shi'ah are the Book, the Sunnah, the Household of the Prophet, and reason; they have included this in their principles, so they deify reason. Then, regarding the issue that the authentic hadith has not had the scientific methodology applied to it, they do not follow this path at all. However, in order to confound the opponent who criticizes them, when it is said, for example, "this hadith has a weak chain," they say, "We have specific methodologies for authenticating and weakening hadiths, so this hadith that the Shaykh cited is authentic with us." This method was preceded by the Hanafis; that is, the practical approach followed by the Hanafis is exactly this, but it was not written down, except that sectarian bias in the modern era caused this matter to be written down. You probably remember.
