Imam Shafi'i said, "I do not consider something to be sinful that is killed by dogs while you are watching it, and I do not consider something to be resurrected that disappeared from your sight after its killing." Imam Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said, "Except if it comes from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , because then I doubt it, and if it goes against his command, I reject it completely. There is no room for personal opinion or analogy. Allah has granted an excuse for his ﷺ saying." The sheikh said, "This is what Imam Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, is uncertain about."
قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ مَا أَصْمَيْتَ مَا قَتَلَتْهُ الْكِلَابُ وَأَنْتَ تَرَاهُ وَمَا أَنْمَيْتَ مَا غَابَ عَنْكَ مَقْتَلُهُ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَلَا يَجُوزُ عِنْدِي فِيهِ إِلَّا هَذَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ جَاءَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ شَيْءٌ فَإِنِّي أَتَوَهَّمُهُ فَيَسْقُطَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ خَالَفَ أَمْرَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَلَا يَقُومَ مَعَهُ رَأْيٌ وَلَا قِيَاسٌ فَإِنَّ اللهَ قَطَعَ الْعُذْرَ لِقَوْلِهِ ﷺ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَهَذَا الَّذِي تَوَهَّمَهُ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ فِيمَا
