"And seeking this out is not from the Sunnah of the Rightly Guided Caliphs, but rather it is from what was innovated," even though Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) did so; how is this reconciled?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He mentioned, O Shaykh, that the action of Ibn 'Umar was not done by the Rightly Guided Caliphs, and he said it is from what was innovated.
The Shaykh : Huh?
The questioner : He said it is from what was innovated, even though Ibn 'Umar did it; is there no problem?
The Shaykh : It appears he does not intend the action of Ibn 'Umar; it is valid. His last statement gives the impression of a problem, but he intends the other sites, such as the Cave of Hira, the Cave of Thawr, and the like. Yes.
