Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : There is a question for my husband, a question for me, and a question for my brothers, and a useful observation regarding your hadith, O Shaykh, to complete the hadith. May Allah bless you, O Shaykh. What is the degree of authenticity of the hadith narrated by A'ishah, the Mother of the Believers (may Allah be pleased with her), "Remove the harm from yourself as much as you can"? And what is the meaning of this statement?
The Shaykh : First, there is doubt regarding its authenticity. Second, this is not a hadith because it is mawquf (stopping at a Companion) with her. Then, it is contrary to everything mentioned previously. For example, first, it is not permissible to assert its attribution to A'ishah. Second, if it were established from her, that would be one of the proofs of her lack of infallability, had she lived her life with her husband, Muhammad the Chosen One (peace and blessings be upon him).
