Re: Are these Ahadeeth authentic and if so why do they contradict?
I cant stop stressing the fact that the contradictions are apparent to us. But Ask A Fuqhi, and he'll tell you otherwise.
Its like those hadith that state, *YOU HAVE TO RECITE SURAH FATIAH or your Namaaz is not Valid. *But another Hadith states, *When an IMAM IS RECITING, YOU SHOULD STAY SILENT.
*They appear contradictory, so its best to ask a fuqhi.
This forum is not the appropiate place to ask. Since no one is a scholar on hadith.
I suggest your local imam perhaps.
You'll not get an answer here I can *assure u. *
