Does "We've Always Done It" Make Things Islamic? | Sh. Muhammad Hisham at-Tahiri | #2 This is Islam

Al Madrasatu Al Umariyyah

About

A practice can be passed down for generations until nobody thinks to ask where it came from. It is simply understood to be part of the religion. But what makes it Islamic? In Episode 2 of This Is Islam series, Sheikh Muhammad Hisham at-Tahiri explains where we take Islam from, the place of the Qur'an and authentic Sunnah, and the role of scholarly consensus (Ijma').

Could personal reasoning alone tell us how many prayers Allah has made obligatory? His example of prayer and fasting brings the issue into focus, before he turns to the Qur'anic response to those who say that following their forefathers is enough.
