Al-Imaam Ash-Shaykh Muhammad Saalih al-Uthaymeen, the Jurist of the Century, may Allaah be merciful to him, was asked a question if any of us, weaklings in knowledge, were to be asked, we would not hesitate to mumble an answer no matter how erroneous.

Excerpts:

السؤال :هل توجد مسألة من المسائل كان الدليل المستقل عليها هي أنها من شرع من قبلنا؟
الجواب: الآن لا يحضرني، لكن ربما توجد

Question: ‘Is there any issue among the issues which specific proof for it is in the ‘laws of those before us’?’

Answer: ‘As I am now, I can’t think of any. Perhaps there is.’

End of quote.
