The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : No, some suspicion is a sin if it is not based on indications. So what is based on clear indications is not a sin.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : No, the hadith is not the whispers of the self. The hadith is speaking, but one does not incline to anything, whereas suspicion is inclining to it.
