Summary
This Bayan Linnas discusses exhibitions of the Prophet's relics, focusing on his swords and his hair and beard, and sets aside the issue of tabarruk. For the swords, it lists several attributed to him, some said to be kept at the Topkapi Museum, and states that the authenticity of his swords is strongly possible. For the hair and beard, historians differ into two opinions: one holds them authentic, citing the hadith in which he distributed his shaven hair among the companions, and the other holds them not authentic, citing the burial of the hair by Muawiyah. In its weighing of the opinions, the fatwa leans toward the view that they are not authentic and adopts a stance of tawaqquf (withholding judgement).
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, asas thabitnya pedang Rasulullah SAW mempunyai kemungkinan yang kuat.
