The questioner : Is he addressing the people here, addressing the students of knowledge, and not addressing the scholars?
The Shaykh : No.
The questioner : If we say now, O Shaykh... some of them do not correspond, meaning the text and so on, that is why you find them differing in some opinions or... reason
The Shaykh : No, he is addressing the general public, meaning the scholars, the students of knowledge, and everyone. He says: Reason does not contradict authentic transmission; clear reason does not contradict authentic transmission; established texts do not contradict one another. So if you find a contradiction, the error is in your understanding. Yes, that is right.
