The Shaykh : Does the establishment of meeting imply the establishment of hearing, or the reverse? Your question?
The questioner : Does the establishment of meeting imply the establishment of hearing?
The Shaykh : Ah, you repeated my phrase.
The questioner : Yes, O Shaykh; I am confirming it.
The Shaykh : The establishment of hearing is not required, but the establishment of meeting is sufficient to prove hearing in any hadith narrated by one who met his shaykh and whose meeting with him is known, unless it is established for us that he is a practitioner of tadlis (concealment of a defect in a chain); in that case, it is not established. Is my answer clear? Good.
