The Unknown and the Accepted According to al-Hafiz: Are They One Description? A Comparison Between al-Muqaddimah and al-Taqrib
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Even though I have found al-Hafiz saying "accepted" in some places, despite the presence of a son or grandson.
The Shaykh : He says this, may Allah bless you, even in other cases.
The questioner : What Allah willed.
The Shaykh : Yes, I wanted to say that al-Hafiz says that the accepted man, at the time when he contradicts his system in al-Muqaddimah, should be considered unknown. This is an example that falls under this category!
The questioner : That is to say, it is not sufficient to rely on his practice, because he has been found to do otherwise in matters that are agreed upon.
The Shaykh : That is correct.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : And may He bless you.
