The third Grand Law of Islamic history is the concept of harship, which is used to describe the difficulty of life. The Sharia law is relaxed and designed to make things easy for individuals, including during fasting and quarantine.

			Brothers and sisters. It's my

00:00:29 --> 00:00:37
			episode in our series on our inner
hamster Cobra, the grand five
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			grand legal Maxim's
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:45
			in Islamic rules, in this session
we are going to discuss
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:50
			the third of the foremost grand
legal Maxim's
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:56
			namely, our Masha cadeau Tajiri
with tayseer
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			hardship begets facility
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:06
			hardship brings ease or
facilitates relaxation.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:13
			We are going to discuss the
definition of this car ADA or
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:20
			legal Maxim its significance and
sources and the authentic sources
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:27
			of Islam the Quran and the Sunnah
and its applications and a few
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			subsidiary rules inshallah.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:38
			First Coming to the definition,
let's take the words there are two
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:42
			important words are Musharaka and
the other is a tasty
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:47
			Masaka Masaka in Arabic means
difficulty hardship
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:56
			to see is making easy relaxing or
mitigating the difficulty
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01
			this car does say is where there
is genuine hardship
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:06
			that low and tears ease or brings
ease
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			by introducing relaxations.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			So, of course,
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:18
			every obligation you have a duty
that we are required to perform
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:27
			there are some difficulty because
you know the laws are against the
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:33
			whims of the corner soul. So, when
we say difficulty here we are
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			talking about difficulty that
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:41
			is not normal. That cannot be it's
not bearable.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:45
			So, when there is a genuine
hardship
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:49
			the rigors of the law are relaxed.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:56
			Examples shorten, you're combining
prayers during journey this is a
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:57
			relaxation.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:03
			Another example is allow us to use
time Moon
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:11
			using you know ablution, the the
symbolic ablution Lee of versal.
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:18
			And whoa, when water cannot be
used due to sickness, or water
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:23
			simply not available, or water is
too short and then you need to use
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:30
			it for drinking or cooking. In
that case, tire mommies is the
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			substitute.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:37
			Now coming to the significance of
this car Ada, it's very, very
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			significant.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:44
			As we need to understand that the
universe is Sharia is universal.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:52
			It is for all times and places is
practical. And Sharia is barends
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:58
			take into account all of the
legitimate needs of a human being
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			of human beings.
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			Then Sharia caters to the Felicity
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:09
			and well being of humankind, at
our times, Felicity in this world
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			and the next world.
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:16
			So the laws of Sharia takes into
account the facts of human nature
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			and life
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:25
			changing circumstances there are
changes in customs and habits.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:32
			We're changing life is ever
changing. The life is evolving,
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:40
			circumstances change. So, if the
law is rigid and fixed, and cannot
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:44
			be adapted, then the Sharia
becomes not practical. not
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:48
			universal. But that is not the
case with the Islamic Sharia.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:54
			There is a built in mechanism in
the Sharia, to make it adaptable
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			to varying circumstances.
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			So the rule
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:05
			All forever heritage removal of
hardship is buried into the system
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:11
			of the Sharia. And you can use
this based on this rule of course,
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			there are subsidiary rules
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:20
			use it in jurisprudence in order
to make sure that way there is a
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:24
			genuine hardship, the rigor of the
law is relaxed.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:30
			The maxim this maxim are carried
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:35
			out in Masaka to digital bootay.
See, one may ask Where is the
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:41
			evidence for it in the sources?
The answer is it is based on
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:45
			evidence, the textual evidence of
the Quran and the Sunnah, dividend
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:50
			tradition so the Prophet, here are
a few examples Allah says in surah
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:56
			number two was 185. You read Allah
will be common use Where are you
		
00:05:56 --> 00:06:01
			read we come across Allah intense
ease for you and not hardship. So
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:06
			this is when Allah prescribed
fasting and then exceptions. You
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:12
			know when you are allowed to skip
the fasting or postpone it.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:19
			Substitute for something well Ma
Ri COVID Dinniman highridge In
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:27
			Surah turn this to was ata 78
Allah says he has chosen you. He
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:32
			has no place no hardship is not
there is a mistake there. He prays
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:35
			no hardship in your religion for
you.
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:42
			Now you can look for Allah who
knows some Illa wasa God does not
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:47
			bother any soul beyond its
capacity. That is surah number two
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			verse 286.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:53
			And come into the traditions of
the Prophet these are well
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:58
			attested traditions. The Prophet
sallallahu sallam said, I am son
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01
			with a natural easy way
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			or estable Hanifa yet is somehow
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:12
			an end another Hadith The Prophet
said in nama barista Maja serene,
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:16
			who you all Muslims have been sent
to make things easy.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:23
			Not to make it hard, but shiru
Allah to not feel who is true or
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:28
			to assume the prophets or a strict
order to Muslims is make things
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:34
			easy for people and don't make it
hard. Always give good news, and
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:39
			do not turn people away from
religion by making it hard and
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:44
			rigid on them. And another
beautiful example Hadith the
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:49
			prophets own example is when his
wife Aisha, beloved wife, Aisha
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:54
			and lo Nasir Bahu, Yura Sula
Salallahu Salam by the unready
		
00:07:55 --> 00:08:00
			Elektra Elektra icera Houma, when
the Prophet is left to choose
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:04
			between two options, he will
always choose the lesser of the
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:09
			two, the easier of the two, the
most practical of the two.
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:16
			Now, coming to the applications,
there are according though he
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:21
			wants you to enable Jim rahamallah
There lists seven mitigating
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:26
			situations that call for
relaxation of the law and
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:35
			travel, sickness, comparison,
forgetfulness, ignorance, rampant
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:41
			or unavoidable necessity
condition, lack of competence.
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:48
			Some scores are another eight
category namely error or slip up.
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:56
			No one should no one has to be
careful that the above conditions
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:57
			situations
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:03
			can only amount to relax the law
when they are deemed excessive.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:12
			When they are accessing beyond
normal, they call for relaxation
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:16
			of rivers and here are various
forms of waste introduced into the
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:21
			law. Because of this
circumstances. Number one is
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:22
			omission.
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:29
			Woman while menstruating are
relieved of prayer and fasting. So
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:32
			the prayer is kept out together
and the first thing is scattered
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:34
			but it should be made up later
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:40
			and decrease in other because of
hardship.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:45
			There is a shortening and
combining operators while
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:46
			traveling
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:50
			and substitute
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:57
			pay a mum Ely of ablutions, hostel
or Willow, when water cannot be
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			used due to illness or
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:05
			similarly, water is not available
or water is too little. And we
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			need to use it for drinking or
cooking.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:14
			And in a way, where the law is
relaxed postponement,
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:20
			Sharia allows postponing the fast
that is obligatory, the first year
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:26
			of Ramadan when one is sick, or
traveling, and it allows women
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:32
			during menstruation to postpone
it. Even in pregnancy, if you know
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:38
			fasting would adversely affect
their pregnancy, or the baby or
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:42
			postnatal period of bleeding in
this times, they postponed the
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:48
			fasting to make up for it later
on. Thus far, Ramadan fasting I'm
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:48
			talking about
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:55
			and necessity, there is another
condition that allows for the
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			relaxation of the law
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:04
			that allows example is allowing
consuming swine fresh pork, in
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:08
			order if there is no other food
available, or drinking wine, if
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:12
			there is nothing else, no liquid
other than wine.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:19
			And the way of relaxation in the
Sharia is change. The obligation
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:25
			is altered in some way, like the
example of prayer during the in
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:30
			war, if the form is altered is
shortened and altered the
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:35
			Methodist Church and there are
dozens of subsidiary rules derived
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:40
			from the IDA Arbor chakra to take
you live with Tracy, we mentioned
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:44
			only a few especially that relate
to the concepts of necessity and
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:52
			need number one, a lot or are to
be hauled by Laura necessity makes
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			the unlawful law
		
00:11:55 --> 00:12:00
			the rule applies to emergency
situations like somebody starving
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:06
			to death is allowed to lead to
Korean or swine flesh. And also
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:12
			somebody is faced with a religious
life threatening illness or
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:16
			illness that is very very serious
and there is no medicine other
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:21
			than the medicine containing you
know ingredients from pork or
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:25
			whatever that is forbidden. So, in
this case, this medicine can be
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:29
			used, there is no other
alternative. However, to apply the
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:33
			rule, certain conditions must be
fulfilled, number one, the
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:40
			necessity must be real, should not
be imaginary or assumed and there
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:45
			should be no alternatives
available and it must be used must
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:51
			not lead to another danger equal
or greater than the present one.
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:59
			Finally, while resorting to this
car EDA and this one must one
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:03
			should not excuse this role one
should not exceed the limits
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:09
			of necessity hands another role is
prescribed Allura to to cut the
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:14
			robot factory ha necessity is
measured according to true
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:19
			proportions. An example is a male
physician,
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:24
			of course, female should be
treated wherever available by a
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:29
			female physician, but if she has
to go to your male physician, she
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:37
			he should only allowed to see the
affected part of her body for
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:44
			treatment. No other part can be
seen. Number two El Dorado law you
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:48
			will to have a lawyer necessity
does not invalidate the rights of
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:54
			another person. If somebody is
starving, and then he is allowed
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:58
			to eat the food of another person
without his permission. If that is
		
00:13:58 --> 00:13:59
			an extra food,
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:05
			yes, he can take it but he ought
to pay the cost of that food
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:08
			because otherwise you will be
denying the right of the other
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:10
			person. Okay.
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:17
			Another final rule in this that we
are going to subsidiary rule under
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:21
			this maximum or Masaka to the jury
booth Tracy. This is a rule
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:25
			mentioned by Imam Shafi Ramallah
in our locker rombro is
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:31
			an opening must be found when the
situation becomes extremely
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:33
			difficult and unbearable.
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:40
			An example is killing a predatory
animal, which has come to attack
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:46
			the purse. What a while and robot
Raja intruded into the house. And
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:50
			this robber or this animal is
threatening one's life and there
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:55
			is no other way to stop them than
killing them. killing the animal
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:59
			or while and Rober is allowed in
Sharia and these are
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:05
			Are some of the subsidiary rules.
May Allah Swan will help us. Bless
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:09
			us in our pursuit of Islamic
knowledge. And may Allah subhanho
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:15
			wa Taala bless us in our intervals
last one author accept all of our
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:20
			good works. And forgive us our
shortcomings according to Holy
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:24
			harder was tougher reliably
welcome was Salam alaykum
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:26
