The questioner : We said that it is not permissible to bring forward matters that contradict the hadiths of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) except for the sake of public benefit?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : I did not understand, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Did you not understand the exception, or did you not understand the thing from which the exception is made?
The questioner : The things that contradict the public benefit.
The Shaykh : I am asking about the exception or the thing from which the exception is made?
The questioner : Both of them.
The Shaykh : I mean, if we were with a person, for example, a disbeliever, a Christian, and we brought him the texts of the Book and the Sunnah that support the fact that Isa is the servant of Allah and His Messenger, saying, "This is what is in your true Gospel," compelling them by what they have, this is a public benefit and it may be a pressing need, yes.
