Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim

00:00:03 --> 00:00:06

Allah Muhammad Al hamdu Docomo Yun Bobby Lee Jalali What did he cover

00:00:06 --> 00:00:11

as a whistle tonic will also live on a salary more or less a union

00:00:11 --> 00:00:16

and Mohammed Nabi Lamine while he was familiar to marine

00:00:17 --> 00:00:21

bistra he said of us really Omri who are Hulu Roku the tumultuous

00:00:21 --> 00:00:27

honey of covering my dear brothers and sisters. It's my pleasure to

00:00:27 --> 00:00:29

welcome you to another episode

00:00:30 --> 00:00:30

in our

00:00:32 --> 00:00:39

series on the grand Islamic legal Maxim's and we are in the fifth

00:00:39 --> 00:00:40

session

00:00:41 --> 00:00:43

and in this episode inshallah

00:00:44 --> 00:00:49

with the help of Allah Spano, Tala, we are going to discuss the

00:00:49 --> 00:00:55

second foremost of the grand legal Maxim's I'll cover your hamster

00:00:55 --> 00:00:56

Cobra,

00:00:57 --> 00:01:00

namely our yellowtail hula Zulu shuck.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:06

So, Trinity cannot be overruled by doubt.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:13

You cannot put set aside something that is certain as an established

00:01:13 --> 00:01:13

fact,

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17

because of a doubt that arise,

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

this is a very, very important role.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:27

And in this episode briefly will speak about the sources of this

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28

role

00:01:30 --> 00:01:36

significance applications and some of these subsidiary rules of

00:01:36 --> 00:01:42

course, this is not an exhaustive discourse. For that we may have to

00:01:43 --> 00:01:46

go for other sessions or consult other books.

00:01:48 --> 00:01:49

The question

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54

the source of this doctrine.

00:01:56 --> 00:01:57

course if you look at the Quran,

00:01:59 --> 00:02:03

you will see one thing very clearly stated. Quran makes a

00:02:03 --> 00:02:06

clear distinction between truth and falsehood.

00:02:08 --> 00:02:13

trotted just transpose to conjecture. Of course, conjecture

00:02:13 --> 00:02:17

speculation is not a substitute for

00:02:18 --> 00:02:21

in alumni law, you wouldn't even have hackish law.

00:02:22 --> 00:02:26

So when a Muslim is faced to choose between truth and

00:02:26 --> 00:02:27

conjecture,

00:02:28 --> 00:02:33

we ought to go for what is certain, the truth

00:02:34 --> 00:02:35

we should not leave the truth

00:02:36 --> 00:02:38

to go by conjecture or speculation

00:02:40 --> 00:02:41

is a dangerous thing.

00:02:43 --> 00:02:49

And another point that we learn from the Quran retreated

00:02:49 --> 00:02:49

throughout

00:02:51 --> 00:02:51

is that

00:02:52 --> 00:02:57

the fate to be valid must be born of conviction.

00:03:00 --> 00:03:02

Ma rocker of your current Eman ma Walker

00:03:04 --> 00:03:10

was the whole so therefore our remainers callers some of them may

00:03:10 --> 00:03:15

not agree with that. But this is the sound position. It will save

00:03:15 --> 00:03:15

us from

00:03:16 --> 00:03:21

from many of the superstitions that have been crammed crept into

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

the Islamic acleda believes

00:03:25 --> 00:03:30

cradle points must be based on form evidence, evidence that are

00:03:30 --> 00:03:33

in convertible that cannot be contradicted

00:03:34 --> 00:03:39

clear text of the Quran and Claire's tab, which establishes

00:03:39 --> 00:03:40

clear meaning

00:03:41 --> 00:03:44

there is no two opinion about it. We cannot add

00:03:46 --> 00:03:52

a tenet of faith and claim it as part of the Islamic Aqeedah unless

00:03:52 --> 00:03:55

it is established by clear evidence.

00:03:56 --> 00:04:00

Scholars also made a distinction between categorical evidence that

00:04:00 --> 00:04:06

is coppery and Lennie speculative evidence and of course their

00:04:06 --> 00:04:10

hierarchy approach established in the Islamic methodology.

00:04:11 --> 00:04:16

It starts off by making a distinction between mutawatir with

00:04:16 --> 00:04:20

a watery that had been transmitted through overwhelming narratives

00:04:20 --> 00:04:22

and chains of transmission

00:04:23 --> 00:04:25

and those which are not

00:04:27 --> 00:04:31

you know a lot of confusion arises when we study Islam.

00:04:32 --> 00:04:37

We find so many things that are against common sense in the so

00:04:37 --> 00:04:44

called reality. So we need to understand that we should not go

00:04:44 --> 00:04:51

by this quality and learn the facts are learning inferences. And

00:04:51 --> 00:04:56

Lee what is cutter? Cut a guide which is established by

00:04:56 --> 00:04:59

incontrovertible texts with certain meanings

00:05:00 --> 00:05:05

As opposed to those which are based on probable texts, you're

00:05:05 --> 00:05:12

not matawa there, aha. So it's not our certain and the meetings can

00:05:12 --> 00:05:17

also be probable, there is not. So we cannot go by them.

00:05:19 --> 00:05:23

The meaning of this rule or a akinola, your Zulu Bishop.

00:05:24 --> 00:05:29

Subtlety cannot be overruled or set aside because of a doubt.

00:05:30 --> 00:05:35

Let's establish by clear evidence of the Quran and the Sunnah. The

00:05:35 --> 00:05:40

last one authorization Surah 10 verse 36. Well, Maya Tabby oxido

00:05:40 --> 00:05:46

Mila Alana in alumna uni mineral happy Sharia. In Allah it will be

00:05:46 --> 00:05:50

my of our own. Most of them follow nothing but conjecture.

00:05:51 --> 00:05:55

But conjecture can be of no value a tall against the

00:05:57 --> 00:06:03

board is well aware of what they do it another place we read omalo

00:06:03 --> 00:06:03

Whom behave in

00:06:06 --> 00:06:10

a manner well in other nulla you wouldn't even Iraqi Shia,

00:06:11 --> 00:06:14

reiterating the same fact. They have no knowledge they're off,

00:06:14 --> 00:06:19

they only follow assumptions and conjectures and assumptions are no

00:06:19 --> 00:06:20

substitute for

00:06:23 --> 00:06:28

the Prophet sallallahu wasallam say thereby Rebbeca Jamahiriya

00:06:28 --> 00:06:33

book, when in doubt, rely on what is searched and stick to it.

00:06:35 --> 00:06:40

Provide explain how to practice this is that if one of you feel

00:06:40 --> 00:06:45

something upsetting in your stomach, and doubts, if anything

00:06:45 --> 00:06:47

has passed, when

00:06:48 --> 00:06:54

14 He should not leave the mosque until he either years or smell

00:06:54 --> 00:07:01

some tea. So of course, you cannot the certainty is that you are in a

00:07:01 --> 00:07:05

state of purification. And the doubt creeps in whether you broke

00:07:05 --> 00:07:09

it. So you should not because you feel something upsetting in your

00:07:09 --> 00:07:15

stomach. You should not go get carried away by the doubt and

00:07:15 --> 00:07:19

leave the masjid and perform Hello, act on what is

00:07:20 --> 00:07:25

another example the Prophet mentioned it what is praying is

00:07:25 --> 00:07:29

praying looking for insurance or Asia and he doubted whether he

00:07:29 --> 00:07:34

prayed three or four. And the Prophet said he should cast aside

00:07:34 --> 00:07:41

doubt and burden on what is sure he sure the circularity is he has

00:07:41 --> 00:07:46

already prayed three because he's doubting whether he prayed for so

00:07:46 --> 00:07:48

based on that sexuality, he should

00:07:49 --> 00:07:50

make.

00:07:53 --> 00:07:57

This chi akinola your Zulu Bishop is widely

00:07:59 --> 00:08:03

applicable. It applies to E almost every chapter.

00:08:05 --> 00:08:10

According to humans, UT the particulars underlying this rule

00:08:10 --> 00:08:14

make up three four out of all of the legal rulings.

00:08:15 --> 00:08:18

I will mention only few examples.

00:08:19 --> 00:08:25

In the area of purity for Hara, which is a very important chapter

00:08:25 --> 00:08:31

concept in Islam in the acts of worship, and otherwise, a person

00:08:31 --> 00:08:37

who has performed Hulu is certain that he knows well that he clear

00:08:37 --> 00:08:41

that he performed below, but he doubts whether he broke it or not.

00:08:42 --> 00:08:49

Now, he should deem it will do as valid based on that prior security

00:08:49 --> 00:08:53

and it is certain that he has broken it.

00:08:54 --> 00:08:58

In Salah your person doubted if you prayed three or four, you

00:08:58 --> 00:09:02

should pray another raka based on the circularity that he already

00:09:02 --> 00:09:03

prayed three.

00:09:05 --> 00:09:08

In the area of fasting, if a person knows whether the sun has

00:09:08 --> 00:09:14

set, he should not break his fast until he sure that sun sun has

00:09:14 --> 00:09:18

set. Likewise, if he doubts

00:09:19 --> 00:09:23

he didn't have a soul or any doubt whether dawn has arrived, he may

00:09:23 --> 00:09:29

eat, continue to eat until he's sure that the dawn has arrived.

00:09:31 --> 00:09:36

Like was in hedge if a person doubts whether he performed four

00:09:37 --> 00:09:41

rounds of tawaf, which should have he should have performed seven, he

00:09:41 --> 00:09:46

doubted whether if he performed six or seven, then of course, you

00:09:46 --> 00:09:52

assume that here performed six round and he should add another

00:09:53 --> 00:09:56

in the worse some that people doubt whether they have divorced

00:09:56 --> 00:09:59

their wife or not. Of course that doubt

00:10:00 --> 00:10:06

should not cancel that circularity factor that is buried, right until

00:10:07 --> 00:10:09

the proof is established otherwise,

00:10:10 --> 00:10:14

in transactions if a person also made an amount, that's a certain

00:10:14 --> 00:10:18

fact, but later he doubted whether he repaid there is no

00:10:18 --> 00:10:24

documentation in that case, a should deem a that he's in still

00:10:24 --> 00:10:30

indepted and the document or evidence is proven that he has

00:10:30 --> 00:10:31

already paid off the debt.

00:10:33 --> 00:10:39

There are subsidiary rules to this. So many I will mention only

00:10:39 --> 00:10:44

a few of us sort of lucha libre. This is a very, very important

00:10:44 --> 00:10:45

concept.

00:10:46 --> 00:10:50

Every one of us should know this, because it will save us a lot of

00:10:50 --> 00:10:51

frustrations.

00:10:52 --> 00:10:56

Permission is the rule. Prohibition is an exception,

00:10:56 --> 00:11:01

there's another, I'm learning that that the Quran tells us that only

00:11:01 --> 00:11:05

God has the right to prohibit things. Of course, Rasulullah

00:11:05 --> 00:11:09

sallallahu wasallam explains it further. So everything is deemed

00:11:09 --> 00:11:13

permissible until proven otherwise.

00:11:15 --> 00:11:18

This applies to all areas except the areas of worship

00:11:20 --> 00:11:25

in areas of worship. Now, your body will now be Bashara. You

00:11:25 --> 00:11:29

cannot worship Allah subhanaw taala by inventing innovating new

00:11:29 --> 00:11:34

methods of worship. But when it comes to areas of Mahamudra art,

00:11:34 --> 00:11:35

now,

00:11:36 --> 00:11:40

this is the larger aspect of of, of our life.

00:11:42 --> 00:11:45

You know this rule applies permission is the rule prohibition

00:11:45 --> 00:11:51

is foods, drinks, plants, fruits, greens and seeds that are

00:11:51 --> 00:11:54

considered harmless. But of course, if, if we just proven that

00:11:54 --> 00:11:59

a certain plant of grain or seed is harmful, we should not use it

00:11:59 --> 00:12:05

inventions discoveries, customs of dress to score. Many people think

00:12:05 --> 00:12:09

that for a Muslim woman, she cannot be observing the job unless

00:12:09 --> 00:12:14

she put on our buyer saw their top women wearing trousers and pants,

00:12:15 --> 00:12:20

the lose as long as it's modest, and fulfill the conditions of

00:12:21 --> 00:12:27

required modesty, requirements of modesty. Of course, Islam did not

00:12:27 --> 00:12:31

come to create these are customs, the customs of dress go by the

00:12:31 --> 00:12:36

crime culture. So there's free food habits means of

00:12:36 --> 00:12:41

transportation tools and instruments that new forms of

00:12:41 --> 00:12:45

transactions and medium of communication are all permissible

00:12:45 --> 00:12:48

as long as there is no text prohibiting or approving

00:12:48 --> 00:12:54

otherwise. But as long as there are no pro proven harm or

00:12:54 --> 00:12:55

destruction caused by them.

00:12:57 --> 00:13:01

This learning this rule would save us from loads of confusion in this

00:13:01 --> 00:13:02

crucial area.

00:13:03 --> 00:13:08

Another subsidiary rule is also no Bara to them.

00:13:09 --> 00:13:13

This means a person is deemed innocent until proven guilty.

00:13:15 --> 00:13:19

Humans in Islam are deemed free of liabilities.

00:13:20 --> 00:13:24

No so anyone making an allegation are going to regress the person

00:13:25 --> 00:13:31

must produce proof otherwise, the person is vindicated is innocent

00:13:31 --> 00:13:31

segment

00:13:32 --> 00:13:36

number three Another rule is bakau Makana Allah makan

00:13:37 --> 00:13:41

if effect establishing the past shall be deemed as continuing the

00:13:41 --> 00:13:42

same way

00:13:43 --> 00:13:50

until the country's proven examples a person leaves home and

00:13:50 --> 00:13:51

there is no address.

00:13:53 --> 00:13:57

Now, can we simply because assuming that he died

00:13:58 --> 00:14:03

distributaries inheritance No, he will be deemed alive until we have

00:14:03 --> 00:14:05

clear proof of his death.

00:14:06 --> 00:14:06

Another

00:14:08 --> 00:14:10

example is a property that belongs to someone

00:14:12 --> 00:14:15

documentation is there is established, everybody knows this

00:14:15 --> 00:14:21

property belongs to and so so and so. Now, if a dispute arises,

00:14:21 --> 00:14:24

whether it has been transferred to another person or sold to another

00:14:24 --> 00:14:25

person,

00:14:26 --> 00:14:30

you cannot simply make that claim based on a conjecture without

00:14:30 --> 00:14:36

proof. So until there is an evidence proving otherwise, this

00:14:36 --> 00:14:39

property belongs to the person who had it in the first place.

00:14:41 --> 00:14:45

Now why for claims there has been devotion in deathbed in order to

00:14:45 --> 00:14:46

disinherit

00:14:47 --> 00:14:51

her claim shall be vindicated until those who dispute our

00:14:51 --> 00:14:56

statement produce evidence to the contrary, that the evidence the

00:14:56 --> 00:15:00

will did take place while he was still healthy. It will

00:15:00 --> 00:15:04

was not with the intent of this big disqualifier for.

00:15:06 --> 00:15:11

Finally, there is another important subsidiary rule, ascribe

00:15:11 --> 00:15:14

to the same paradigm European lawyers Zulu wish.

00:15:15 --> 00:15:18

Sometimes this is on the internet

00:15:19 --> 00:15:24

law you will your sub circuit in power, one cannot attribute an

00:15:24 --> 00:15:29

opinion to someone who keeps quiet. This is a rule which is

00:15:29 --> 00:15:34

often used by those who condone injustice. Because the Quranic

00:15:34 --> 00:15:41

mandate for us is very, very clear. Guru Awami shahada

00:15:43 --> 00:15:50

Mr. Kumar means turned up again in the gate, co2 avala was what never

00:15:50 --> 00:15:55

shake or forfeit this responsibility of standing for as

00:15:55 --> 00:16:03

witnesses of truth and justice. So we have a duty to work strive to

00:16:03 --> 00:16:09

remove corruption, justice is tolerable. But someone may absorb

00:16:09 --> 00:16:14

the responsibility by rationalizing the behavior by

00:16:14 --> 00:16:20

abusing the ABA role as changement is made, that is unjust and

00:16:20 --> 00:16:23

corrupt, and you are there and you don't speak up.

00:16:24 --> 00:16:29

Of course, he cannot excuse himself by saying lie on sabula

00:16:29 --> 00:16:33

Saturday because you cannot attribute a statement to somewhere

00:16:33 --> 00:16:39

or keep it quiet. The school has realized this danger. So they call

00:16:39 --> 00:16:43

if I added another qualification, you see how careful they are.

00:16:44 --> 00:16:50

The qualified this abou rule will rockiness sakuta Femara Hi hija by

00:16:50 --> 00:16:55

our keeping word when one should speak up amounts to a statement.

00:16:56 --> 00:17:01

So a scholar who keeps quiet when a corrupt statement is made,

00:17:02 --> 00:17:05

cannot excuse himself cannot get away.

00:17:06 --> 00:17:12

He also a perpetrator because he should have spoken up. He could

00:17:12 --> 00:17:18

have clearly objected or made a statement disapproval of that be

00:17:18 --> 00:17:23

the last one or they'll help us to benefit to seek beneficial

00:17:23 --> 00:17:27

knowledge and male lion. Through this beneficial knowledge. May

00:17:27 --> 00:17:32

Allah help us to enhance our understanding and practice of our

00:17:32 --> 00:17:36

beautiful region Akuto they are the worst of learning welcome.

00:17:37 --> 00:17:40
