ثم من سنة رسول الله ﷺ
Then seek the ruling from the Sunnah of the Messenger ﷺ.
When a Quranic passage does not spell out a legal case in detail, the Sunnah may explain or establish its ruling. It clarifies the performance of worship and many legal transactions.
Two inquiries must remain distinct: Is the report established? and What does it actually prove? Distinctions among mass-transmitted, well-known, and solitary reports help with the first inquiry; scope, wording, and reconciliation with other texts concern the second. A report’s existence alone does not settle every question of application.
