Religious Status Of Fatawa Of Sahaba RA
Among the dhanni [ non-definite ] sources of knowledge, Ahadith and Athar occupy the highest status. If their authenticity could have been fully relied upon, they would have had the same importance as the Sunnat-i Mutawatirah. However, since Ahadith and Athar do not possess this degree of authenticity, they can only be benefited from as far as they are found to be in conformity with the Quran and Sunnah.
