Completing the answer regarding the previous objection concerning the fistful of beard.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And when I gave you an example with the matter of supplication after prayer, one of the people of hadith, the people of hadith are not the innovators in Pakistan, published a very long article in the Salafi University magazine!
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : That it is prescribed and recommended to make supplication after prayer, from where? From the general evidence, because he is not a jurist, he did not specialize in innovation, as he may have specialized in the Sunnah, he did not specialize, so he thought that anything for which general evidence exists became a practical Sunnah, and that is not the case. In any case: letting the beard grow, the texts from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) are absolute, but the practical Sunnah that the Salaf transmitted to us clarifies that this absoluteness is not intended.
The questioner : Qualified.
The Shaykh : Then why do we say: we are Salafis?! My voice is hoarse when I say: it is not enough for us to say: Book and Sunnah and that is it!
The questioner : On understanding.
The Shaykh : It would be, Book and Sunnah interpreted this way and that way and that way!!
The questioner : The understanding of the righteous Salaf.
The Shaykh : How did the Salaf understand it? In this manner, on this methodology, so it is so, and the matter of the beard and the fistful are included in this rule, okay, and others? This is the second issue, and the third issue?
The questioner : Most people, O Shaykh, cite the generality, that his saying - may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him - is general, this is a general text.
The Shaykh : Yes, yes.
The questioner : In the matter that just came to my mind!
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Meaning we need to see now what his opinion is on the matter?
Another questioner : No, by Allah, he agrees with the Shaykh's words, good words.
The Shaykh : No, I am saying!
The questioner : Finished, meaning, do we get up?
Another questioner : Yes, indeed ..
The questioner : That time when he cut it for me, O Shaykh, meaning the story was not right!!
The Shaykh : Oh Allah, hehehe.
The questioner : I am cutting, not he, aaaah.
Another questioner : Come cut, come come.
The questioner : Shaykh, regarding the hand! ?
Another questioner : No, my fist is not your fist.
The questioner : As the Shaykh said, it is not required to be, meaning stuck tight, and it is not required to be.
The Shaykh : Hehehe, in the name of Allah.
The questioner : No, no, fear Allah.
Another questioner : In the name of Allah, Allah is the Greatest, lay it on the right side, bring the cloth, bring the cotton, O boy!! !
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : What Allah willed, what Allah willed, congratulations to you!
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
The questioner : Congratulations to you on the Sunnah!
Another questioner : May Allah preserve you, if Allah wills, meaning.
The Shaykh : What Allah willed, yes, by Allah, but do you know who established this Sunnah?
The questioner: Huh?
The Shaykh : Abu Ayyub.
The questioner : Abu Ayyub, may Allah reward him with good.
The questioner: Yes.
