The questions not asked - Yaser M. Haddara

Ustadh Yaser writes:

A couple of weeks ago I was blessed with the opportunity to be a speaker along with Shaykh Talal Ahdab, one of the teachers that has had a great influence on me al-hamdulillah… In the Q&A the first question was about people that reject hadeeth, or that consider that only Bukhari and Muslim should be taken as authoritative, or other arguments. I started out with my attempt at an answer - I basically said the usual surface-level stuff about the science of hadeeth and its rigor, as well as the clear arguments in the Quran about the sunnah. You might call it a simple, direct answer.

Then Shaykh Talal took the mic. The question and both our answers are in this 15 minute audio clip. I suggest you listen to the question then skip ahead to sheikh Talal’s answer at 7:19. There are a couple of spots where he stops to gather his thoughts and decide whether more needs to be said before continuing. If you’ll take my advice you’ll hear this answer through to the end. I would say that his answer revolved around “the questions not asked.” I think if you really understand what he said it would affect your entire outlook on life as a Muslim in the West.
