00:00:22 --> 00:00:25

My dear brothers and sisters so it's my pleasure

00:00:27 --> 00:00:33

to welcome you to another episode in our series lessons on a wider

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

hamster Cobra

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

the grant five legal Maxim's and their applications.

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

In today's episode, inshallah I will explain some more details

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

regarding the first legal Maxim the most important legal maximum

00:00:57 --> 00:01:02

or more Wilma asset matters or judged by intentions.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:08

I will discuss first why is this kinda important?

00:01:10 --> 00:01:13

And what are the exceptions to the role

00:01:14 --> 00:01:20

and place of leisure anywhere that and we're just the bits and some

00:01:20 --> 00:01:22

subsidiary rules.

00:01:23 --> 00:01:29

In this way we can have a better picture that or we have this role

00:01:29 --> 00:01:30

it shows up.

00:01:32 --> 00:01:38

Why this car it up. If you look at this car ADA deeply

00:01:40 --> 00:01:45

it has a moral and spiritual dimension, it's not limited to

00:01:45 --> 00:01:46

legal damage.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

It helps us

00:01:51 --> 00:01:57

to make out to formulate intentions to think through our

00:01:57 --> 00:02:04

actions because our of our actions have cosmic significance. So

00:02:05 --> 00:02:11

a little more Wilma Cassidy Ha is trusting that we need to

00:02:12 --> 00:02:17

clear our mind we need to think through the actions as we perform

00:02:17 --> 00:02:21

them. So it really helps us to lead and examine life

00:02:23 --> 00:02:25

and to shake off heedlessness golf.

00:02:26 --> 00:02:33

Golfer is the trait of the Carter the animal who are acting by their

00:02:33 --> 00:02:38

instinct. They don't think to their actions, but as human beings

00:02:38 --> 00:02:46

we need to think before we act. So it helps us if we develop the

00:02:46 --> 00:02:47

habit of

00:02:48 --> 00:02:54

cultivating the intentional act, doing things intentionally. It

00:02:54 --> 00:02:58

helps us to develop willpower and mindfulness

00:03:02 --> 00:03:05

subsidiary rule which is an explanation of the same thing,

00:03:06 --> 00:03:13

further application exposition of which Lhasa in Lavinia there is no

00:03:13 --> 00:03:15

reward without intention.

00:03:16 --> 00:03:20

This is especially true of the acts of worship that we perform.

00:03:21 --> 00:03:26

We have mentioned it earlier. But let us go into little more detail.

00:03:27 --> 00:03:29

acts like a gospel

00:03:30 --> 00:03:31

will.

00:03:32 --> 00:03:40

This can be a rewarding an act of worship, if we have the NIA but if

00:03:40 --> 00:03:46

you were to beit or perform that ablution without the NIA is not an

00:03:46 --> 00:03:51

act of worship, the same way as salah, sia and fasting hunch.

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

Everything more acts of worship.

00:03:55 --> 00:03:59

For their validity, we need to have that Nia or intention

00:04:03 --> 00:04:07

in other words, x for the acceptor must be done solely for the sake

00:04:07 --> 00:04:12

of Allah subhanho wa taala. We read in Quran verse eight Surah 18

00:04:12 --> 00:04:17

was one turn from Ankara Euro Juliet Cara behave for Yama,

00:04:17 --> 00:04:21

Ramadan Solly hon wala usually can vary by that you're a bit here

00:04:21 --> 00:04:27

Haida, so who are hopes to meet his Lord? Let him perform

00:04:27 --> 00:04:32

righteous deeds, and make no one a partner unto His Lordship unto

00:04:32 --> 00:04:33

Lord in worship.

00:04:35 --> 00:04:41

For Leila when Aon, one of the pious sages and saints of the

00:04:41 --> 00:04:48

regeneration said soundless, sallahu. Amara is dependent on two

00:04:49 --> 00:04:55

conditions are based on two pillars. Number one, the act we

00:04:55 --> 00:04:59

perform must be in the first place sanction should be allowed

00:05:00 --> 00:05:06

approved by allow smart water. And number two, we must do them with a

00:05:06 --> 00:05:07

sincere intention

00:05:08 --> 00:05:14

of pressing the last one over Tara otherwise, this virtuous deed is

00:05:14 --> 00:05:15

not acceptable.

00:05:16 --> 00:05:21

On the other hand, NIA if we have the NIA intention,

00:05:22 --> 00:05:28

every single permissible app that we do, can be rendered can be

00:05:28 --> 00:05:29

turned into an act of worship.

00:05:31 --> 00:05:36

Or sola SallAllahu sallam said, when you engage in that spousal

00:05:36 --> 00:05:41

relationship, intimacy with your spouse, with your wife, that's an

00:05:41 --> 00:05:42

act of worship.

00:05:44 --> 00:05:49

Because if you do it, to guard yourself to remain chaste,

00:05:50 --> 00:05:56

to be protected from sales, as an act of worship, even as if he were

00:05:56 --> 00:06:02

to go out and do engage in an extramarital affair, you will be

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

punished the same way you will have a reward for that permissible

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

app, once it is done, for the sake of protecting yourself.

00:06:13 --> 00:06:18

Likewise, Nia, when you have the need to resolve resolution resolve

00:06:18 --> 00:06:20

in our mind to do something good.

00:06:21 --> 00:06:26

But God forbid, we were prevented from doing so in spite of our best

00:06:26 --> 00:06:27

intentions,

00:06:29 --> 00:06:32

because of circumstances beyond our control,

00:06:33 --> 00:06:37

then we are rewarded, as if we have done it already.

00:06:40 --> 00:06:44

The Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam said, if someone intended by going

00:06:44 --> 00:06:48

to bed before going to bed, to wake up for tahajjud

00:06:49 --> 00:06:57

but because of that exertion, or tiredness, or oversleep, he could

00:06:57 --> 00:06:58

not wake up.

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

And he will get the reward because he had that intention to do so.

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

But he was prevented because of circumstances beyond his control.

00:07:10 --> 00:07:12

So Allah will reward him for that

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15

someone wanted to give charity,

00:07:16 --> 00:07:21

but he didn't have anything to give. So, you will be rewarded as

00:07:21 --> 00:07:26

if he has already given the charity. In one of his expeditions

00:07:26 --> 00:07:27

with this companions,

00:07:28 --> 00:07:32

the Prophet sallallaahu Salam was gathered with his companions, he

00:07:32 --> 00:07:38

addressed them and said, We have left behind us in Medina people

00:07:39 --> 00:07:44

there will be with us always wherever we went, and every single

00:07:44 --> 00:07:50

expedition and winter We undertook they were with us, but this time

00:07:50 --> 00:07:55

they could not make it because of the loss or valid excuses. So they

00:07:55 --> 00:07:59

already shared the reward of this expedition with us.

00:08:02 --> 00:08:05

Now, another point to consider is there is no accountability for

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

words or actions that are not intentional.

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

If somebody uttered the words of the was Carnac without any

00:08:14 --> 00:08:18

intention, just this word came out

00:08:19 --> 00:08:23

without intention, of course that will not be considered as a valid

00:08:23 --> 00:08:28

divorce. Likewise, if somebody extreme fit of anger

00:08:29 --> 00:08:34

driven by out of control and he is not aware of the words He's

00:08:34 --> 00:08:36

speaking and He said to laughter

00:08:37 --> 00:08:42

and and later on he regretted it that's not considered a valid

00:08:42 --> 00:08:47

tharok Simone liberal claim even with maybe another subset, because

00:08:47 --> 00:08:54

Allah Tala coffee Allah Tala is not valid. When the mind is

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

blockage of mind when the and you cannot you don't think

00:08:59 --> 00:09:04

you are not aware of what you say. Thus Barataria says you know

00:09:04 --> 00:09:09

statements about that are not intentional. Allah says, now you

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

are who the Comala who will never be free or Imani come, wherever

00:09:12 --> 00:09:17

you offer to come we mark cassava to Google comm Wallah over for ID.

00:09:18 --> 00:09:22

Allah will not call you to account for take you to task for all three

00:09:22 --> 00:09:27

you have uttered and intentionally but he will call you to account

00:09:28 --> 00:09:31

what what do you mean in your heart? God is the most forgiving

00:09:32 --> 00:09:32

and forbearing

00:09:34 --> 00:09:40

exceptions to the no role a little more Wilma Cassidy ha. You are

00:09:40 --> 00:09:45

matters are judged by intentions or reckon by intention. Exceptions

00:09:45 --> 00:09:48

is contracts that

00:09:50 --> 00:09:54

finalize what to believe or in writing.

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

For instance, a sale or lease contract

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

house sale house purchase. And you have articulated that in writing,

00:10:07 --> 00:10:12

or in words, and you signed it the document, you cannot say I didn't

00:10:12 --> 00:10:16

have the intention. So it's an exception, because these

00:10:16 --> 00:10:20

expressions as long as of course, one has to be in a sober state of

00:10:20 --> 00:10:25

mind in full possession of senses, and he is not endurace we have

00:10:25 --> 00:10:30

already mentioned that in the past in the previous session. So as

00:10:30 --> 00:10:35

long as that is not the case, any agreement we may make verbally or

00:10:35 --> 00:10:37

in writing.

00:10:38 --> 00:10:39

We cannot

00:10:40 --> 00:10:44

excuse also by saying, I didn't have the intention.

00:10:45 --> 00:10:49

But it's a different issue altogether, when the expression

00:10:49 --> 00:10:53

the words used, not explicitly indicating

00:10:55 --> 00:10:56

this is what can I.

00:10:58 --> 00:10:59

So it requires Lea.

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

For example, if it says to be, this car is you worse,

00:11:05 --> 00:11:07

is the NIA that

00:11:09 --> 00:11:15

that makes that determines whether it was a sale or not. Because

00:11:17 --> 00:11:21

if the knee is to give it to him free, as a gift,

00:11:22 --> 00:11:27

it's not considered a sale, it's a hadiya. So the NEA make that

00:11:27 --> 00:11:30

distinction, whether it was a sale, or a gift.

00:11:31 --> 00:11:32

Likewise,

00:11:34 --> 00:11:38

the person matters says to his wife, you are free.

00:11:39 --> 00:11:45

This is the NEA that decides whether it consider a divorce. If

00:11:45 --> 00:11:49

he says no one should be in a divorce, I meant to say that you

00:11:49 --> 00:11:53

are free to go home, you are free to visit your parents or whatever.

00:11:54 --> 00:11:58

So Nia makes the distinction. Crucial.

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

Nia once again, is critical in deciding the cases like you know,

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

some Sometimes people put out a jar to collect rainwater, and

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

somebody came, and you know, you know, throw it out.

00:12:19 --> 00:12:24

If then his Nia was that he put it out to collect rainwater, and

00:12:24 --> 00:12:29

anyone who destroys that water who takes away or does everything to

00:12:29 --> 00:12:34

interfere with that water. He should be he's liable. They should

00:12:34 --> 00:12:35

pay.

00:12:36 --> 00:12:42

If he if if it goes to the court, or if the person wants a

00:12:42 --> 00:12:49

compensation ed to compensate for you. Likewise, if a person pick up

00:12:49 --> 00:12:55

last articles, you're working and you found something, a wallet or

00:12:55 --> 00:13:00

something with money, and he picked it up, and his intention

00:13:00 --> 00:13:05

was to keep it in trust for that person. Whenever he arrives, he

00:13:05 --> 00:13:09

comes to crave it, he will surrender it to him. If the

00:13:09 --> 00:13:15

intention while he picked up the act was to give it to the rightful

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

owner. Then suppose God forbid it is taller,

00:13:20 --> 00:13:23

or it is destroyed by fire is not liable.

00:13:24 --> 00:13:29

If on the other hand, a person picked it up. And he thought okay,

00:13:29 --> 00:13:37

now I can use it. It's mine. And the owner comes and ask for it is

00:13:37 --> 00:13:38

liable.

00:13:39 --> 00:13:43

So they intentionally make that different distinction. Another

00:13:43 --> 00:13:49

subsidiary rule, whoever monostatic Russia Avila Awani

00:13:49 --> 00:13:51

Okay, Bobby arrow, Armani.

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

Whoever has to get something before it's due time, it will be

00:13:57 --> 00:13:59

deprived of its benefit.

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

An example is if God forbids a son kills his father to claim the

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

inheritance, then then that son will be disqualified as your

00:14:11 --> 00:14:17

higher here, he will not be receiving any share from that

00:14:17 --> 00:14:22

inheritance when it's time to share. Cobble Awadhi Okay, Bobby

00:14:22 --> 00:14:26

Romani, he who over has allowed us to get something before it's due

00:14:26 --> 00:14:34

time, it would be deprived of its benefit as a penalty. So, these

00:14:34 --> 00:14:39

are some of the explanations. I hope it will be in this way this

00:14:40 --> 00:14:45

we have a better understanding of that gun legal Maxim or logo

00:14:45 --> 00:14:50

RubyMine. paucity. Inshallah, in the coming sessions, we will visit

00:14:50 --> 00:14:54

some of the other legal Maxim's Insha Allah, may Allah subhanho wa

00:14:54 --> 00:15:00

Taala help us to benefit from proper understanding

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

In knowledge of religion to enhance our understanding and

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

practice of it

00:15:09 --> 00:15:13

Cody Harada was the who it would have come was Salam o Alaikum

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