Combining Ahaadeeth only takes place if they are Authentic


Question:

How do we combine between the hadeeth which mentions the action of some of the sahaba, that they were sitting in the masjid whilst in a state of sexual impurity, and between the saying of the prophet:

إني لا أحل المسجد لحائض ولا لجنب

The masjid is not permissible for woman who is menstruating nor anyone who is sexually impure.

Answer:

There is no need to combine between them due to second hadeeth being weak which is:

إني لا أحل المسجد لحائض ولا لجنب

The masjid is not permissible for woman who is menstruating nor anyone who is sexually impure.

[Narrated by Ibnu Maajah]

So there is no need to combine between them.

Combination of ahaadeeth is only applied to ahaadeeth which are authentic.

As for combining between an authentic hadeeth and a weak hadeeth, or between weak ahaadeeth then no, you don’t combine between them.
