The Shaykh’s return to answering regarding the absence of a conflict between the prohibition of wearing sandals in graveyards

The Shaykh : Similarly, what we were discussing just now: the deceased hearing the sound of sandals as the people who buried him depart from him. This is merely a report; it does not imply that it is permissible for visitors to enter the graves, or for those entering them to be wearing sandals. Rather, it is merely a report, meaning: if this thing happens, the deceased hears it at that time. Therefore, this hadith does not contradict the hadith of the two Sabbath-breakers. Why? You know the answer. is legislation, : is not legislation, but rather a report. Moreover, this hadith, which is the most correct, can be understood in another way: that the burial takes place in a location that does not require walking in sandals between the graves, such as if the grave where the person is buried is, for example, on the edge of the graveyard, so they are buried and the people depart, and they hear the sound of the sandals. This is how one must reconcile the hadiths that may appear to some people, at first glance, to differ. One of the rules in reconciliation is what was mentioned earlier: "A hadith containing legislation is not contradicted by a hadith that does not contain legislation, but rather contains a report, and this report is interpreted in light of the legislative hadiths."

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
