The hadith (Leave what causes you doubt for what does not cause you doubt): Is it for recommendation or for obligation?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The hadith Sunan an-Nasa'i 5711Sahih (Darussalam) We learned from your previous answers that this is not for obligation, but rather for recommendation. You also explained it with the hadith that follows it, Sahih al-Bukhari 2051 and you also said it was for recommendation. So some of the brothers told me that you had contacted him and asked him about this, and I told him it was for obligation. The question was about Bulgarian meat; so I thought that Bulgarian meat is definitely forbidden, and Allah knows best, because they do not slaughter it in the proper way...
The Shaykh : This is it, meaning the original principle in all matters is to be scrupulous regarding one's religion, based on recommendation; as for this specific issue, one must refrain from it.
Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt.
دع ما يريبك إلى ما لا يريبكBoth legal and illegal things are obvious
الحلال بين والحرام بينThe Shaykh : This is it, meaning the original principle in all matters is to be scrupulous regarding one's religion, based on recommendation; as for this specific issue, one must refrain from it.
