“The meaning of the expression Binding Proof of the Sunna is that the Sunna points to the judgment of Allah Most High, either as definitive knowledge (‘ilm) or as probable knowledge (zann), bringing it out and disclosing it for us. We understand the Divine rulings by means of the Sunna and it becomes binding upon us to put its content into practice. So the real meaning of the Sunna as binding proof is exposition and proof-inference necessitating obligatory practice of their results because the latter is the Divine decision.”
