The questioner : Some mentioned, may Allah reward you, that the Isra'iliyyat include even rulings.
The Shaykh : What is in them?
The questioner : I say that the Isra'iliyyat are not limited to stories and reports, but also include rulings regarding the Children of Israel, and the Companions transmitted them.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : I say, may Allah reward you, that according to this view, there is a possibility that this hadith is from the Isra'iliyyat?
The Shaykh : No, that view is not correct.
The questioner : It is not correct?
The Shaykh : No, it is not correct, because this would be... establishing the rulings of the Shari'ah based on the reports of the Children of Israel.
The questioner : The legislation of the Children of Israel is legislation for us, unless it contradicts our legislation.
The Shaykh : No, for example, the statement that Allah does not look at a man who approaches a man from behind includes a threat along with the establishment of the ruling, which is prohibition. However, the legislation of those before us is legislation for us if Allah narrates something about them, or if the Messenger narrates something about them, such as they did such and such and did such and such, then it is legislation for us.
