The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you. What is called a defective hadith?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And a rule is derived from it: Does the Shaykh rely on the hadith itself, or on the general texts that support the hadith?
The Shaykh : No. When such a case arises, the defect is either a genuine defect or it is not. For example, regarding the hadith of 'Amr ibn Hazm, the author said: "It is defective", but the claim of defect is not accepted. Not everything that is said to be defective is actually so. One must examine it, and we have based these branches on its authenticity.
