The ruling on taking some verses and hadiths and leaving out others
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner : Your Eminence! There are people who take some hadiths and do not pay attention to others, and they do the same with the verses of the Qur'an. Is there a word on this topic?
Answer:
The Shaykh : This is ignorance. It is not permissible to interpret part of the Book of Allah against another part, nor to interpret part of the Sunnah against another part. One must look at all the texts and combine what has come in the issue from the Book and the Sunnah; so that the ruling is based on certainty and clarity in the scriptural evidence.
The Shaykh : As for the ignorant person who takes one piece of evidence and leaves another, or argues with one verse and neglects a verse in meaning, or a hadith in meaning, this is an error. It is speaking about Allah without knowledge. The mufti and the judge must track down the evidence and combine the evidence; so that he takes the ruling of the issue from all of it; because the hadiths explain one another.
The Shaykh : And so the verses explain one another and bear witness to one another; so it is necessary to combine the evidence in issues that may be confusing. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
