The Correct Place of Opinion
Al-Awz??? reports that Caliph ?Umar b. ?Abd Al-?Az?z – All?h have mercy on him – wrote (in his orders):
There is no place for anyone’s opinion [when it comes to] what is in the Book (revelation). The opinion of the im?ms (great scholars) is only regarding what the Book did not come down with, and regarding which no Sunnah has passed from the Messenger of All?h ?. And the opinion of no one is counted in the face of a Sunnah from the Messenger of All?h ?.
Al-?jurr?, Al-Shar??ah #113 et al.
