Question
i want to ask you a question regarding you article : HADITH AS STANDING AUTHORITY OF SHARI’AH,
i just wondered if it is correct to say, Some Muslims do not accept them as authoritative, correct?, but i just wanted to know why, also isn't it correct that all althority lies with Allah, and therefore the Quran, but where does this place the hadiths ?
Answer
The word authority is in relation to acceptability and credibility. It is not in comparison to the Authority of Allah. Allah is Supreme and nothing can surpass the Authority of Allah. You may also read the book "Authority of the Sunnah" by Mufti Taqi Usmani Saheb.
And Allah Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
