Is it permissible to eat the date palm shoot?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The date palm shoot is not forbidden?
The Shaykh : It is not forbidden.
The questioner : The hadith in "Sahih al-Jami'"—the Shaykh's verification in "Sahih al-Jami'"—states: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited eating the date palm shoot."
The Shaykh : This prohibition is one of dislike. Do you know the story of Khalid ibn al-Walid? He said (peace be upon him):, but he disliked it, . The prohibition intended in the hadith is dislike.
The questioner : Does this apply to the conflict between the statement and the action regarding the date palm shoot?
The Shaykh: May Allah forgive you.
The questioner : O Allah, amen.
The Shaykh : How quickly you forgot. I told you he said.
The questioner : ... Here I want a rule, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : A statement that it is not forbidden, and a statement.
The Shaykh : That it is forbidden.
The questioner : That it is forbidden.
The Shaykh : Ah, the forbidden is given priority.
The questioner : It is given priority.
The Shaykh : This is within the rule: "The prohibitive is given priority over the permissive."
The questioner : In statements, absolutely.
The Shaykh : In statements, yes.
The questioner : But you have now ruled, and the evidence for dislike, or its derivation from prohibition to dislike, is the same statement.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : But the rule is still valid for you, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : It is sound.
The questioner : It is sound and valid.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Because my brothers in Najd do not hold that when the statement conflicts with the action, the statement is given priority over the action.
The Shaykh : What do they hold then? The fact that they do not hold this is a denial, and they deny denial.
The questioner : I asked Shaykh Ibn Baz.
The Shaykh : What do they hold?
The questioner : They weaken the narrations, if they find, for example.
The Shaykh : What narrations?
The questioner :Sunan Ibn Majah 1724Sahih (Darussalam) .
The Shaykh : My brother, may Allah bless you, we are now talking about a rule.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : After the rule, we look into the branches.
The questioner: I understand you.
The Shaykh : You said they do not hold this, meaning they do not say that if a prohibitive conflicts.
The student : The statement with the action.
The Shaykh : No, I am giving you another rule. If a prohibitive conflicts with a permissive, we say we give priority to the prohibitive over the permissive. You say they do not say this.
The questioner : They do not say this, yes.
The Shaykh : So your question is: what do they say? And you have not answered me.
The questioner : Because the answer I have is...
The Shaykh : My brother, may Allah guide you, because this is an explanatory clause.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : You have not brought the clause that requires explanation.
The questioner : I understood, yes, yes.
The Shaykh : Okay, so it remains.
The questioner : The question remains.
The Shaykh : The question remains.
The questioner : They follow the schools of jurisprudence, O Shaykh. They see the Hanbali school.
The Shaykh : That is the problem now.
The questioner : Okay, what is this that I did not want to answer because it will be recorded and they will expel me from Najd?
The Shaykh : Ah, no, may Allah protect you. Do not record it on him, everyone, especially since the land is inhabited, it is not like that, is the land not inhabited? Hehehe.
The student : The reason this happened, our Shaykh, is that we were a little late for the appointment we agreed on with you. Our brother was given a violation and his license was taken from him.
The Shaykh : Who?
The student : The brother Hamid.
The Shaykh : Good.
The student : He made a U-turn in the street.
Another student: He violated the government's ruling.
The Shaykh : With knowledge or without knowledge?
The student : Without knowledge, by Allah.
The Shaykh : In a state of heedlessness.
The student : In a state of heedlessness, and he did not show mercy to our being foreigners, saying he must pay a fine.
Another student: He was happy that he violated a Saudi.
The Shaykh : It is not forbidden.

إني أجد نفسي إنه لم يكُنْ بأرضِ قومي ، فأجد نفسي تعافُهThe questioner : Does this apply to the conflict between the statement and the action regarding the date palm shoot?
