A student's remarks on al-Bouti's statement regarding ahad reports in matters of creed, and the Shaykh's comment on them.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student : On Syrian television, they broadcast programs by al-Bouti.
The Shaykh: Allah is the Greatest!
The student : In the last episode, last week or the week before, he spoke about ahad reports in a way that was unjust to every person of intellect?
Another student: Who is speaking?
The student : Al-Bouti, Sa'id Ramadan al-Bouti.
Another student: Al-Bouti is now, well, he has become an Asadi now.
The student : So he spoke about ahad reports and how ahad reports are rejected in matters of creed. He says that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to send the Companions to the lands that had recently embraced Islam to teach them the religion and teach them practical matters, not creed.
The Shaykh : ... .
The student : He restricted this to the issue of practical matters, i.e., jurisprudential rulings only.
The Shaykh: Allah is the Greatest!
The student : And the hadiths are clear and apparent. So what is the crime that is committed? He knows the hadith, and he knows that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Mu'adh and Ali, he said:Sahih al-Bukhari 462. Abu Ghuddah has now entered Syria.
Another student: Wasn't it forbidden for Abu Ghuddah to enter Syria?
The student : He entered Syria and stayed in Syria. Abu Ghuddah stayed and left, and he will return now, definitively. He will return to Syria now, definitively. So there is agreement, O Shaykh. The brothers, subhan Allah, wherever the brothers are, one feels loyalty toward them.
Another student: It is the issue of isolation. The hadith is held, and he takes from it what he desires and leaves the rest. The hadith contains teaching of creed and teaching of rulings, is that not so, O our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Of course, but the hadith of Mu'adh has a more precise indication than what you mentioned:Sahih al-Bukhari 1458.
The student: Yes.
The ShaykhSunan an-Nasa'i 5001Sahih (Darussalam) Creed comes before everything. Allah is greater than the Khalaf.
The student : This, O our Shaykh, he did not speak about jurisprudential rulings. As for the jurisprudential ruling, we accept ahad reports.

First of all invite them to
