This also leads us to speak about a mursal and a mursal, even if they are not from the mursal reports, meaning those described with this description, namely a mursal from Qatadah.

The questioner : This leads us to speak about a mursal and a mursal, even if they are not from the mursal reports, meaning those described with this description, namely a mursal from Qatadah, yes, and another mursal from another Tabi'i, and another mursal from another Tabi'i. Is it permissible to cite them as evidence based on the words of al-Shafi'i?The Shaykh : Well, we say that it is necessary to note what Imam al-Shafi'i said, which is that they must differ in residence and not be from the same town, such that it is possible that their shaykh is the same shaykh. However, if they differ in residence and it is possible that the shaykh of each mursal is the same as the other mursal, if this is far-fetched in this narrow scenario, it is possible to strengthen a mursal with a mursal, as long as they do not reside in the same place.

The questioner : This explains the words of Imam al-Shafi'i.

The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.

The questioner : The difference in the point of articulation.

The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.

The Shaykh : Yes, if the point of articulation differs.
