I don’t see any contradiction from the narrations that you shared above. We need to keep in mind that narrations have contexts and we must understand each one of them according the to principles laid out in the Quran. As for criticism on the narration chain, such criticism exists on a large number of narrations. That’s why we find some narrations accepted by a certain muhhadith while rejected by another. The key to understand such issues is that nothing can be made permissible or impermissible solely based on a narration. The principle must be derived from the Quran, and narrations can be used as supporting evidence.
