00:00:00 --> 00:00:45
			Salam alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh hamdu Lillah wa salatu salam ala rasulillah Bibim appeasing
Allah subhana wa tada elektrischen his blessings upon the final prophet Muhammad, even Abdullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and all those who follow his way with righteousness until the end of
time. So, welcome to the fourth and final lesson in our Why do you think Maxim's, and yet we're
doing things a bit differently this week. In order to avoid social contact, as much as possible, we
are having this class online. And for the foreseeable future, this class will continue every Monday
online
		
00:00:47 --> 00:01:04
			until this is over, then we'll go back to meeting in person and have the online component continuing
as well. So today's class is going to be a little bit different, it's going to be a bit unique. I'd
like your feedback on it ways to improve ways that we can do this better.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:50
			Just whatever you can do to help us to improve the online component. Again, doing this online is new
for me, not teaching online, I have been teaching online for over 10 years, just something that I'm
used to doing in person seeing all of you in person interacting with you, that component is gone. So
what we're going to do is we're going to have this lecture, and then separately, we'll have a q&a.
Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, but we will have a separate q&a on this topic. So let's get started
hamdulillah we are looking at the fifth and final coil of a PA which is a shocker that actually put
a seal up called the causal relaxation of the law. So we've learned thus far that the providers are
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			clear they are
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			five of them, we learned about intentions, about culture,
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:08
			about harm, and about conviction not being removed by doubt, we now come to the final one, which is
a shocker to that you put a seed difficulty causes ease.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:41
			So this comes from one of the goals of the Sharia, which is the removal of hardship, right the
removal of how would you include the removal of hardship? Well, it is one of the goals of the Sharia
a lot wants to remove hardship of our lives. And the evidences for this are many, perhaps the
clearest one through Baccarat chapter number two plus 185, which illustrates no data reveals to us
the peak of Ramadan, and in difficult Ramadan, he tells us that
		
00:02:42 --> 00:03:27
			about fasting, that if you are sick or traveling, make it up later. And Allah Subhana Allah says,
You read a lot because you throw whatever you need to become a boss, a lot wants to make things easy
for you, he does not want hardship for you. So this verse is one of the clearest evidence that the
removal of hardship and the facilitation of ease are from the goals of the Sharia. And so when there
is undue hardship, the law gets easier. That's basically what this principle means. What this Maxim
means is that when life gets difficult, which is something we are experiencing at the moment, are
the laws of Islam get easier to accommodate that difficulty because you read a lot because what are
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:32
			you reading because Allah wants things to be easy for you, he does not want things to be difficult
for you.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:51
			Likewise, in the closing verse of surah, Baqarah, unless you have a handle that is logically for low
enough, then illos, Allah will never burden a soul beyond his or her capacity. So whatever test
Allah sends in our lives, like the one we are facing at the moment,
		
00:03:54 --> 00:04:02
			we have the capabilities to overcome it and to move forward in our lives and to, to to try to in
some way or the other.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:13
			And when things do get too too difficult, Allah has created laws to make things easier for us. So
this Maxim
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:59
			is derived from the rasa from the concessions that Allah subhanho wa Taala has given us for a
variety of situations. Difficulty causes ease can be seen in many, many different aspects of fic. In
almost every single area of fake, they is an element of difficulty causing is right. And this is
something that's unique to our Sharia. The prophets Allah mentioned it as amongst the gifts to this
ummah, they weren't given to any Ummah before them, right? The woman before not have concepts like
the moon, or the shortening and combining of prayers, all of these concessions these rock sides are
unique to our sherea. So electrum hamdulillah in the final surely has yet to humanity
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:13
			To be practiced on the end of time, alone infinite knowledge knowing that these times will be
changing these times will include unique situations include good times and bad times, the law has
been made flexible enough to accommodate all of this.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:42
			And again, the evidences are many I mentioned in the intro I mentioned like a little low enough said
ILA was Aha. There are many other examples of this as well, in the Hadees. There are many headpieces
with the Prophet, the lawyer, some stated that indeed, this religion is easy, and only the
extremists make it difficult upon themselves. So this is a translation of one of the statements of
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and there are many other pieces of this nature.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:06:07
			One of the clearest one that I think applies to our current situation is the Hadees, in which one of
these haba when he was traveling, he sustained a head injury. And because of his head injury, he did
not want to wash his his head, and he ended up having a dream that requires Cosell and because of
that,
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:41
			he also became watchable upon him, too. he consulted his traveling companions, what should he do?
And they all told him you must make kusa. So he performed the hosel he washed his head and he died,
he died. So when they when the rest of the group called Dr. Medina and told the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam about it, he got extremely angry and he said that he should have made the yamo Why
didn't you ask the cure for ignorance to ask and he made a statement, the katella home court along
the law, they killed me Allah kill them only Allah destroyed them.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:57
			I mean, if you look at our situation now, where we are trying to bring some east or community to
prevent the virus from spreading by telling people to stay at home and go to the masjid not free
tomorrow, and then we have on the other side of the light signal you must go to the masjid you must
pay tomorrow.
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:32
			If this fatwa of years causes the virus to spread and people to die, get ready what the prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to this man applies to them as well called a long bottle of Milady
they're going to kill people with effortless love protectors so important that the people making our
fate understand the decodable and democracy the Sharia otherwise, it can be disastrous, and the
times they visit can be deadly. It can be truly deadly when the wrong people are in charge of the
fatawa in the massage.
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:45
			So this Maxim as I said, it's something financial outfit dia, dozens, maybe even more than dozens of
examples found throughout cheriya many of you are familiar with.
		
00:07:46 --> 00:08:32
			For example, color Shula he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Jaga long out of the pool of mosquito Allah,
Allah has made the entire Earth a pure clean mustard. So from amongst the ease Allah has given us is
that we can pray for that anywhere besides the graveyards and the toilets. So at this time with the
machines are closed, we can pray at home. We can pray in our offices we can pray in corridors we can
pray basically any way that is clean, this is from the east the seal Allah has given to this woman
for a monster they see a lot of money so we can shorten our prayers and delay our fasting when we
are traveling. Right and so this is clear in the Quran and Hadees that when you are traveling over a
		
00:08:32 --> 00:09:02
			certain shall become to Russia. And so if you get to Ramadan you can fast after Ramadan scared. So
these are very clear examples of a seed because of my Shaka likewise combining Salah at times of
need. So combining solo and traveling, combining Salah when there is a flood or heavy rains. For
example, He talked to combining Salah before and after operation. These are all examples of machaca
detach reboot ACL. Difficulty causing the law to relax the water change.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:23
			We can sit and pray standing is too difficult we can lie down and prove sitting is too difficult
again on my Shaka with a see if someone cannot stand and pray. The should sit in play if someone
cannot sit and play they should lie down to play. Whatever difficulty person is going to the law
relaxes according to get level.
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:40
			We can delay a fast if we are ill. Right so much of 100 says in the Quran in surah baqarah verse 185
that if you are sick or traveling, you can make it up later you can pass at later dates again, the
masaka of illness can cause a delay in fasting.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:54
			And one of the most extreme examples being we can eat or drink something haram to save our lives. So
when facing a life threatening situation where there is nothing available except her arm except
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			alcohol or pork or even human flesh
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:15
			Anything haram becomes permissible to eat at such time. So this is all clear examples in our show,
we have my shadow because we put a seer. And there are many other examples of this. There are many,
many other examples of this in the Sharia.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:31
			If you just sit and think about it, you will find that any type of mashup causes they see. So for
example, mental illness, severe mental illness completely lifts the responsibility of doing any
obligations. Right.
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:45
			Someone who is the woman which is given birth to a child doesn't need to play set up the difficulty
of childbirth and labor, you know, after that too few datian as a reseller, giving a time to
recover. On
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:56
			the other example slot to hope in Jihad that an example of Machakos would they see it as you can
just go on and on and on a poor person doesn't have to have to give circa
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:35
			someone who's unable to perform a hedge, the obligation of hedge falls away from them. So you can
see that literally any aspect of literally any area of work, you can take this Maxim and you can
apply it almost any law that Allah revealed there is an exception to the law is a time where you
don't follow the law because of my shocker because of the some difficulty that will arise from
practicing that law at that time. And therefore, for Muslims to be so strict on the literal word of
the law during times of machaca. This is really, really problematic. It goes completely against the
Sharia against what the Quran teaches, what they have this T shirt, what the Sahaba themselves
		
00:11:35 --> 00:12:19
			practice. When we look at this lives as a habit, we see this in practice. We see this in practice
when there was the drought in Arabia, and the overall effect of lifted the punishment punishment for
for stealing. This is an example of a shocker treated UPC. So moving on from there, this topic
requires a bit more elaboration and the other Maxim's are what is machaca. What is DC, what kinds of
difficulty affect the law and what kinds of changes can happen to the law. The first thing to note
here is that there's two types of difficulty. There's reasonable difficulty, and there's
unreasonable difficulty. Reasonable difficulty does not change the law. So if you find it difficult
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			to recover, for lack of budget, you still have to recover.
		
00:12:22 --> 00:13:05
			If you find it difficult to give us a car, you still have to give up. If you find Hutch, difficult
and everybody finds it difficult, you still have to perform Hutch. So reasonable difficulty does not
change the law. So what does change the Well the problem I have identified seven types of
difficulty, that count as machaca, these seven things, if any of them occur, the law changes, right.
So again, it's not just any difficulty that changes the law, the seven types of difficulty that
affect the law, these are the seven categories of machaca, when one of these seven categories are
there a presence, then the law changes, if not, if you just some random general difficulty,
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:12
			uneasiness, tiredness or something like that, then there is no effect that that has on the law.
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			So number one,
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:44
			the number one thing that counts as machaca and change the law is coercion. When a person is forced
to commit a sin, there is no sin upon them. Right. So now the bill a woman who is raped please no
sin upon that because of coercion, coercion. Someone who is forced to say words of Cofer, like in
the case of American us, when Abu Jamal Masada vinyasa, Martin vinyasa,
		
00:13:46 --> 00:14:18
			or regular news, Nikita Ahmad even yesterday, when I would yell forced him to see words of cocaine,
there was no sin upon him because of course, coercion. Someone is forced to eat out, drink alcohol,
or eat pork or human flesh when they are dying, there's nothing else available, there is no sin upon
them. So the number one cause of my shock or the number, what type of a shocker that causes the
large change is coercion or being forced to do something against your will. Number two is suffering,
traveling.
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:36
			Now, nowadays, a lot of people don't understand how Travelling is a machaca. What you need to
understand is that for the bulk of human history, traveling was one of the hardest things to do the
whole travel industry, its idea of traveling for fun going for holidays,
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:57
			traveling for leisure, for sightseeing. This is a new thing that popped up in the past 100 years and
I have a feeling with what's going on right now. It's going to end and disappear again altogether
because no one's really going to want to travel for fun after what the world's experiencing at the
moment. So for the bulk of human history, and this probably be the case again in the near future.
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			Travel
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:04
			was a shocker people only traveled for business for studies for necessity.
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:41
			Right or today there is machaca involved standing in queues waiting in airports, delayed flights,
passport control, security checks, did this is Marcia castle involved in travel. So travel is being
away from your comfort zone or being away from your own being outside your element. Because of that
Allah has the blue concessions with the traveler. So in the Quran, travel is mentioned the type of
machaca in reverse and fasting. We know from travels a lot can be shortened in most of them as
hubzilla can be combined. Fasting can be delayed, there are a lot of concessions involved when it
comes to traveling.
		
00:15:43 --> 00:16:28
			Number three is disease or illness. Right so morada, a sickness of any kind, has an effect on the
law. And we see dozens of examples of this in the show here. If water makes a person more sick, they
can make the move instead, someone who's chronically ill doesn't need to fast he can pay figure
instead, someone who's sick temporarily doesn't need to fast he can make up the fast later, someone
who's sick in the constant and trade he can sit and pray. Someone who is sick and we cannot sit in
3d can lie down and pray. We can see that almost any of our laws are affected by the concept of
sickness. Number four and number five go together. forgetfulness and ignorance. Right So, the
		
00:16:28 --> 00:17:13
			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam stated in authentic IDs, a lot has forgiven for my oma anything
it does out of forgetfulness, ignorance or by force. So these are these mentioned three things and
that's where we get three out of the seven categories forgetfulness, ignorance and coercion. So just
like someone who is forced to do Haram is not sinful. The same applies when someone commits haram
forget fully or out of complete and total utter ignorance, meaning if someone had intention to pray
sola to us, but they genuinely forgot to praise us until they heard the mother of Azhar and then
they made kasasa can inshallah they are not sinful for missing a syrup because it was not
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:49
			purposefully done. It was forgetful didn't seem someone had every intention to wake up for Serato
budget, but they did not hear the alarm and they overslept. And they are not cinderford for missing
for local budget because it was done out of forgetfulness. The same applies for complete indirect.
So yeah, there is a difference between someone who chooses to be ignorant, and someone who is
genuinely ignorant. If someone chooses to be ignorant, they are sinful for the ignorance. But if
someone is genuinely ignorant, or someone growing up, in a small village in one
		
00:17:50 --> 00:18:26
			country is cut off from the internet. And all he knows is what's taught in his village and his
village. They teach him that denial is fine, and he's never heard anything else. And so he grows up
living a life of Xena, I did late in life, he learns that it's haram and he stops. He's not sinful
for everything that happened up to that point because of complete Jihad because of complete
ignorance. Right? So ignorance is an excuse in our religion, but as only when it is unintentional
ignorance, not when it's intentional ignorance, then none of the laws change with these intentional
ignorance, but when is unintentional ignorance, then no one is held accountable for that. So for
		
00:18:26 --> 00:19:07
			example, if 700 years ago, there was a plague in a city and the Muslims gathered to pray salah and
ask Allah for help. And because they gathered together, the plague spread and he died of it,
inshallah, he will not be held accountable for that because of ignorance, because they did not know
what we know about how diseases spread. However, if we have to do the same thing today, we will be
held accountable for it because we are not ignorant. Right. So ignorance affects the law in that
way. That's why I give the example last week of smoking. Someone who 100 years ago said that smoking
is permissible. They will not be held accountable for their fatwa because they were ignorant of the
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:19
			harms of smoking hadn't been discovered yet. Right? But today because we know the harms of smoking,
we cannot make this fatwa because we don't have the ignorance we now have knowledge and we have to
based on our knowledge.
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:39
			Okay, moving on to number six. This is the one that affects us right now, almost by the wall a
comment of public affection. So when something affects an entire community, the fifth changes to
accommodate or to get rid of that affliction. So the Coronavirus is an almost belova
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:56
			and it's a unique case because in the past a common affliction would affect a village or a town or
mostly country, but because of globalization and international travel without facing perhaps for the
first time in history, a common affliction on a global scale.
		
00:19:57 --> 00:20:00
			So every community based on
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:20
			On the number of cases within the community and the amount of social interactions and how fast it's
growing, we'll have to find different ways to adjust the law based on this common affliction. So a
common addiction can be a drought, can be a flood, can be a plague, can be a civil war can be riots
and civil unrest
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:45
			can be an invasion from enemy forces. All these things count as common afflictions. In each of these
cases, they are changes that they take place to the law, that for example, now we are seeing the
change where the obligation to police a large congregation falls away the obligation for clinging to
masala falls away. These are examples of laws changing because of mobile buy. Why? Because of a
comment of fiction. So number six,
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:54
			always looked at this list over the past 10 years thinking, number six doesn't apply to us. And now
I'm doing this presentation.
		
00:20:55 --> 00:21:04
			For the rule law, I'm doing this presentation to the one point in my life, it actually does apply to
us, we are facing a common affliction. And so we need to adjust our laws accordingly.
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:09
			The final, the final of the things that
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:54
			change the law is not is not clear. Or someone not having legal competence someone being unable to
have control over the actions or someone not having the maturity or the mental capabilities to
decide between right and wrong to this includes insanity includes people who are sleepwalking or
sleep talking and includes people who are have not hit the age of puberty yet and even include
people who are senile. All of these categories. In all of these cases, someone is not accountable
for what they do. Meaning there is no sin upon children, there is no sin upon people who have major
mental illnesses that affect the ability to decide between right and wrong, or there's no
		
00:21:55 --> 00:22:26
			sin and obligation upon someone who is old and senile. There's no single obligation upon someone
who's sleeping. So if someone's asleep and they say something and they sleep or they do something in
the state they cannot be held accountable for it. So, this is the final category. So, these are the
seven things right you will have I have identified each of these seven, a fifth the law in some way
or the other, some of them obligation or sin falls away. Some of them the law itself changes, some
of them may be an amalgamation of this.
		
00:22:27 --> 00:23:10
			But nonetheless, in any situation that will allow will look at this list and they will see okay,
these are the seven teratoma shocker that changed the law. Are we experiencing any of these seven?
If yes, the law changes if no, the law doesn't change. Right now, what we're dealing with is in
hormonal balewa is also a disease. So it puts into two out of the seven categories. So there's
definitely some bases that is needed, there is definitely some relaxation of the law that has to
take place to accommodate our what we are experiencing and to help us to get stop it from spreading.
So just as the Ola have identified seven types of machaca. They also have listed seven types of
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:53
			lease here. Meaning just as they are seven types of difficulty that affect the law. They are also
seven types of changes that can happen to the law, and they don't go directly with each other. Any
of these seven can happen with any of those, right? They're not directly correlated. So there are
seven types of changes that can happen to a law at the time of machaca number one is called omission
meaning that the law falls away altogether. So a woman who is in a hate or honey fast does not have
to pray all together, prayer falls off altogether. I would say in our current situation, the
obligation to pray in JAMA or pray Juma is on budget he falls away altogether. So in certain
		
00:23:53 --> 00:24:40
			situations, the law falls away altogether. For a child who has not hit puberty yet all of the laws
and with every every obligation falls away altogether, seeing what someone who is now old and senile
and does not know what they are doing. All of the laws are omitted. So it's called omission is the
first type of change that affects number two is 10 is decrease. So, in some situations, the
obligation upon people decreases what is required of us decreases. The most easiest example to
understand is shortening the Salah when traveling. So in a normal situation you will create for Raka
puzzle her Assa t sharp but when traveling you will pray to her about for his or her us or Asia. So
		
00:24:40 --> 00:25:00
			this is a 10 piece this is a decrease in what is required of you. I can take that another example of
this is if someone cannot stand and play date, sit and preach. Now again this is a decrease in what
is expected often, right if someone is in a situation where there is no pure praise place to pray.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:43
			Then the condition of praying in a pure place for the way, for example, that would be lame Allah
protect us from this if someone is in prison and they are imprisoned in a faulty place, and they are
lifted for days on end, it becomes permissible for them to pray this allowing that faulty place,
because now there is a decrease in the law, the requirements of salary decrease based on the
individual's circumstances, right. Number three is if that replacement, so in some cases, a lot
replaces a law within another law to make things easy for us. So we do being replaced with a yamo is
the clearest and easiest to understand example of this, when a person cannot make a do or puzzle
		
00:25:43 --> 00:26:10
			because of sickness, or because of fear of an enemy, or because of a common affliction, or whatever
it is, in all of these cases, then we'll do is replaced with a hammer whistle is replaced with a mo,
right. So for example of a common affliction or drought, and a committee has limited water, and they
needed water for drinking otherwise people are going to die. In that case would you would be
replaced with a mo
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:56
			another example of a dog besides a amo is replacing the fast of Ramadan with video. So for someone
who is chronically ill, or someone who is elderly and cannot fast because of health reasons, in
those cases, there is no omission that is if that meaning, the obligation to fast doesn't fall away
completely is replaced with a new obligation, right. So the obligation to fast is replaced with the
obligation to pay figure. So this is called a data replacement, a law is replaced with a new door,
the obligation to fast is replaced with the obligation to pay video. So both video and try examples
of doubt and examples of when there is difficulty, then the law is replaced with an easier law to
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:56
			apply.
		
00:26:57 --> 00:27:41
			Number four is the per diem and number five is the fear and these two go together doing something
before it's time or doing something athletes. And so these are two other types of changes that can
occur to the law attempt of mashup. Either a, d can be done before it's time or after it's time when
it is clear machaca so praying after a good time combining luhur and assar while traveling, this is
the Kadeem advancing doing something before it's happening also before it's time, this becomes
permissible in in the majority of math hubs. The Sharpie humbly Marquis malha, when a person is
traveling or when there is a common affliction, or when there is
		
00:27:43 --> 00:28:16
			injustice, we need some kind of necessity, right? Same with the opposite Daffy and Sabrina do her at
a certain time or playing mother, Russia time becomes possible in these cases as well. In these
cases, you have a choice between a game or a field. So if you are traveling, and you have a flight
to catch, you can combine your daughter and also at the airport before leaving and you're modeling a
shot at the airport after arriving. So you're doing the duck idiom in one case interfere in the
other case, and both of these become permissible because of the machaca of travel.
		
00:28:17 --> 00:29:04
			Another example of the fear of doing something later is delaying the faster if someone is traveling
in Ramadan, or if someone experiences the the hate period the menstrual period in Ramadan, then they
can they will make up the fast after Ramadan. The first case they can make up the past Ramadan, they
have a choice in the second case, they don't have a choice they have to make it up after either. So
this is called the here the laying a T deed for outside of exam. In this case the deed of praying of
fasting in Ramadan is now delayed after Ramadan. In the early example we gave the case of praying
during each time is delayed to ascertain right so in some cases, a good deed is done before or after
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:07
			it's time when there is machaca that causes that to happen.
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:17
			Number six in theory or necessity, right. So this is a subsidiary Maxim which takes that
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:40
			the extreme circumstances causes the haraam to become Halla on necessity makes the writer that
necessity makes the Haram allowed. So when there is nothing else to do besides her Are you have no
choice but to do her. Then out of necessity the heroine becomes
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:48
			the example is drinking alcohol or eating pork when there is nothing else available and you're going
to that
		
00:29:49 --> 00:30:00
			nothing example would be if someone is dying and the only cure for the illness is something wrong.
Right. There is no other cure. That's the only thing that's going to cure the illness, but it will
become
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:02
			permissible to take that kill. Um
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:09
			so basically necessity makes the Haram haram and etc.
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:58
			These different years different levels of necessity and is different levels of what becomes allowed.
So a minor necessity would make a minus and Halla and a major necessity would make images and Hello,
so major sins like alcohol and pork, and stealing would only become halaal in life in good
situations, while my innocence could become hollow, in less difficult situations, so for example,
our insurance types of insurance that are around because the order must be as easy to understand way
around, they can become a lot out of necessity. Because you live in a country where you can operate
without it. Right tradition example of necessity, we can get her on holiday on a minor level.
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:02
			The same would apply to other things of a similar nature.
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:26
			Same thing about the examples of that, but yeah, the clearest example of the harem becoming holla is
the example of insurance becoming halaal. Nowadays, because of necessity, right, that's not major,
it's not a major sin, by then take a major masaka to make it.
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:30
			And in many other examples of that as well, for example, a woman
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:45
			revealing a minor aura to a non Muslim in the case of necessity, so when going to the doctor, by a
woman's aura is divided into two parts the major and the minor over the major or being
		
00:31:46 --> 00:32:08
			from her * to a nice, the minor or being below the knees and the arms and the hair. So that's
called a minor aura, because she's allowed to expose it to Mr. Krabs. So it would become permissible
for to expose it to a non Muslim at a time of necessity, while the major or even that would be
allowed when there is a real necessity, like a medical necessity, but not for something less than
that.
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:18
			And the final type of change that can happen to all is done here. Right w means replacing a law with
a
		
00:32:19 --> 00:33:04
			with a similar law that's changed. So changing the way you do something. Changing the way you do
something can happen in extreme situations. For example, in jihad, the, these warriors can pre
select the hole. So they're still praying to Allah, he just changed the way that they prayed. So,
right. Similarly, if someone was sitting and praying or lying down and praying, they're still
praying so that they are just changing the way that they pray. So sometimes, the way that you do
something will change based on my Shaka and everyday example of this is kissing the Blackstone. So
technically, you're supposed to kiss the batstone in may be tough. But nowadays, that's a shocker.
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:22
			Nowadays, it's not possible for everyone to catch that stone. So instead, we just, you know, like
Blow a kiss from fall. This is an example of how you do something changing based on everyday Mushaf
got that because of the number of people performing ombre and tawaf every single day in the modern
world.
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:54
			It would be a shocker to ask each and every one of you actually kiss the stone itself has its place
been easy a law, which is similar, which is that you can see from afar. So you still doing the same
action, but from afar. So this is a change, while still maintaining the basic elements of the act of
worship. So this is Michelle could attribute as you can see, it's a very technical process really
all a lot have to sit and go through something and you get the fall into one of these seven
categories, which are the seven types of changes will take place, and how would we implement it in
our community.
		
00:33:56 --> 00:34:43
			Now as with all of the other Maxim's on the show could attribute a seer is governed by subsidiary
Maxim's and the subsidiary Maxim's governing it. Number one. When a situation becomes difficult, the
law gets easier. When the situation becomes easier, the law gets more strict, right? This is the
number one substitute action meaning when we change a law based on machaca it's not a permanent
change, things go back to the way it was before, as soon as the machaca ends. So for example, right
now, the obligation to pay June are falls away, right when the situation becomes difficult the law
relaxes. Once the situation changes and things become normal again. Then when the situation relaxes,
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:59
			the law becomes more strict in print Juma becomes an obligation again, it applies to everything
else. If someone is sick, you don't have to fast you get better. You have to fast someone is
traveling. You can combine this up to get back home. You can't combine this a lot anymore.
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:39
			So, all of these changes are not permanent. That's what the first Natsume is teaching us all of
these changes that are permanent, they are only for the time in which there is the machaca. And as
soon as the machaca is over, the law goes back to the way it was before. Number two, I really
discussed this one in the previous slide, necessity makes permissible the prohibited things. And as
I said, there are different levels of necessity and there are different levels of prohibition. So it
might in necessity can meet a minus and halaal a major necessity can make images and so an example
of a minus necessity making a minus and halaal. Now these would be the case of *, right?
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:51
			That according to the majority, a must have include the 100 females obviously mindset. But in the
modern world, where people only get married when you're like 25, or 30. And they living in over
sexualized culture
		
00:35:53 --> 00:36:06
			is now a matter of marshrutka that it's either *, as you know, or other * or
* was enough, you know, and it's * is the least of the three evils here. So it
becomes halaal or grew
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:29
			out of necessity to the minor necessity making a minor sin haha. On a major level, the major sins
only become halau, when the major sins only become halaal when there is a life and death situation,
so things like stealing, or Zina or
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:55
			consuming alcohol, these only become permissible in life and get situations, right, where, for
example, someone's life is threatened and they had no or someone's dying of hunger, and you have to
do something to survive. These are issues that make those horrid things Hello, with a check to life
or, or the life or health writing someone's struggling with physical violence, and forced to descend
upon a person is no sin upon them.
		
00:36:57 --> 00:37:08
			Number three, very important, what is permitted by necessity should be proportionate. So even if you
change the law, it's not just do whatever you want. proportional meaning
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:50
			if someone is dying, and the only thing available is alcohol or pork, it doesn't mean they can have
a buffet, or they can eat to the full party have a five course meal, no proportion, eat or drink
enough to survive. I can see what it comes from a super eat or drink enough to survive. So the
changes are proportionate. Likewise, in you know, when it comes to things like *, we
would say that, as I mean, anyone can do whenever they want, how much they want, just for fun, no
proportionate, when the easy necessity rains, a metal person needed as digital currency now, in
general need to be allowed for for those few seconds, right? on when I said it's not a matter of,
		
00:37:52 --> 00:38:07
			of Now, whenever you want to do it, right? It's proportionate. Same with the obligation to pray
jumar falling away, it's proportionate. So if Juma is still possible with four or five people,
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:30
			and that doesn't affect people's health, as would happen maybe in a drought or a flood or something
like that, or in a civil war or something like that, then it will still be obligatory on that number
of people as a 45. But wait a matter of people are going to die if they congregate in you know,
it'll follow about even more. So again, it's all proportional based on the level of machaca.
		
00:38:31 --> 00:39:06
			Number four, what became permissible jujin excuse is invalidated if it goes again, notice all of the
subsequent Maxim's are giving the same message, which is that these changes are not permanent, they
are all temporary. And as soon as the excuse goes, the law goes back to the way it was before. So
the example of this Maxim is if someone is making a young moon because water is not available, as
soon as water becomes available, you have to start making do, right, if someone is sitting and
praying, because they broke their neck, as soon as the neck is healed, if you start standing in
front,
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:36
			if someone is playing at home, because they are ill, or in a normal situation, we're talking about a
pandemic, a normal situation, if someone's playing at home, because they are ill. As soon as they
get data, they have to start going to the machine again, if you follow the opinion that it's an
obligatory appointment to play in drama. So whatever is permissible due to an excuse invalidated, if
it goes right when the law changes because of an excuse. As soon as the excuse is gone, the law goes
back to the way it was before.
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:45
			Number five, very important necessity does not invalidate the rights of others, meaning you cannot
kill someone
		
00:39:47 --> 00:40:00
			to save your own life. You cannot commit murder and other things like stealing. While the sin might
not be there, you still have to pay the person doctors have to be some kind of repercussion for your
crime. You cannot
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:20
			invalidate the rights of others for yourself. Remember, we learned this last week that in Islam, the
rights of other people take precedence over, like public welfare takes precedence over personal well
being. And so that's why social isolation right now, it's not just about us, it's about public
welfare. So you cannot violate the rights of others to fulfill your own rights.
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:29
			So it would be selfish, for example, for people to be still going and praying in the masjid, if it's
putting other people's lives in danger.
		
00:40:30 --> 00:40:33
			Right? Because you cannot violate the rights of others.
		
00:40:35 --> 00:40:38
			Just because, you know, you feel that,
		
00:40:39 --> 00:40:49
			you know, this is what you need to be doing. And that goes through necessity. So for example, the
one thing that never becomes permissible, even when it's a life and death situation,
		
00:40:50 --> 00:41:19
			is to murder an innocent person. In life in this situation, killing a person who is trying to kill
you become from a civil but not an innocent person. So for example, if someone puts a gun to your
head and says, may Allah protect us from this ever happening, you don't have to put a gun to your
head and say, either you kill your friend or I kill you. It does not become permissible to kill your
family, you have to just sacrifice your own life instead, because the lives of others takes
precedence over our own lives, that is one of the roots of our ship.
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:25
			And the final Maxim which governs the law of inertia is that
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:33
			when the original becomes impossible, a substitute is taught. So for example, and you cannot make
what do you make a young woman you cannot
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:54
			win, you cannot fast You know, my dad, for the rest of your life up figure. In our case, I will give
you two examples, we would apply with a pandemic to the world facing today. If someone dies from the
Coronavirus and you cannot give a puzzle to the body, then you should need to take over the body
back.
		
00:41:55 --> 00:42:10
			Right. And if you cannot have a janaza dish that is phnrc in absence. So where the original is not
possible, a substitute comes into place, right? Meaning we don't just jump to not doing anything at
all.
		
00:42:11 --> 00:42:34
			The first step is to try and find a word to substitute before going towards not doing anything at
all. So these are the subsidiary Maxim's that govern our Chicago education, you see how important
this principle is in general, and how important it is to the times we are living in right now. And
so let's let's for our final slide, look at the time that we're living in right now, and how this
		
00:42:36 --> 00:43:17
			Maxim will govern the fabric of our lives at this very moment. So we are living through a mushroom
Ashoka, we are living through a difficulty that is both a disease and a omobola. A common
affliction. Right, this is a pandemic, people are getting sick, people are dying, there is a common
affliction that is affecting the entire global economy, entire global health, it's affecting
everyone in a scary way. So there is now a double reason for us to relax our doors is a double
reason for us to change some of our laws to make living through this PDF easier funding.
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:48
			So we will apply for example is caught the omission of obligations. So the obligation to pray in
congregation falls away. Right. Similarly, the obligation of Jamaat for delayed obligation of
coastal and disease forgery, but rather the last point, I will actually collect myself here also
wouldn't be squat it will be done, muscle will be replaced with a mo. So you cannot do causal
analysis you do a try the body back. Right? So
		
00:43:50 --> 00:44:30
			what we find in our current situation is laws are going to change is not going to be congregational.
taraweeh. By the way, by the way. So important to mention this taraweeh is not an obligation. This
is a strange to me. It's a really strange idea in our community, that people in South Africa think
that taraweeh is a photo a watchable, something that if you don't do it, you're committing a sin.
This is the opposite of what Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam said he only played there are we
in congregation three or four nights and then when they asked him why he stopped, he said because I
do not want it to be compulsory upon you. Meaning the prophets always on did not regarded
		
00:44:31 --> 00:45:00
			obligation. So why do they do Muslims regardless of application, this is really baffling to me. The
prophets have always explicitly said something, a practice something and then we go in the opposite
direction. So in of itself, the rally is not an obligation and the Sunnah is to pray on your own.
And the only reason we have communal prayers is because most people are not going to pay and they
also easily end up doing something. Right. So this Ramadan, it may be best that everybody placed on
our planet
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:02
			All artists with their families in Yamato
		
00:45:03 --> 00:45:08
			may even have to see each salon may fall or fall together maybe know each other this young adult
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:22
			is caught will apply there as well they may be known each other see as well for the people who are
suffering with the actual sickness can the issue of Deaf hearing coming that delaying by Can you say
fasting Ramadan up fast after Ramadan when they get better.
		
00:45:24 --> 00:46:00
			For those who are chronically ill from it, meaning there's no chance of recovery, then Tao comes
into play that they need to pay feature for the past few months instead. So all of these different
principles are going to come into play now with different cases of different people. All of these
different principles are going to come into play. We are living through a case study of our machaca
detention equities here. The we call the quasi relaxation of the law. And now it is the job of the
automark to explain to the people, what changes take place where the easy spot or ambition of
obligations were the Easter doll, substituting ego with another law.
		
00:46:01 --> 00:46:25
			With the staff here it is delaying an obligation to after Ramadan, all of these things come into
play now. And it is our duty to explain this. And finally, when the affliction is removed,
everything returns to normal once the pandemic is over, drama becomes compulsory. Again, that goes
back to normal, everything goes back to normal, right? It's only as long as the machaca exists, that
we have to
		
00:46:27 --> 00:47:10
			change the laws accordingly. As soon as the machaca is removed, we go back to the baby we're so the
situation we are facing today is a clear example of how beautiful and flexible and practical the
Sheree of Alaska handler is. It takes into consideration all of these difficulties that the oma will
face in the lives and accordingly Allah has made the loss easier for us when the difficulties Allah
Subhana Allah has promised us that life is going to be a test. And we are going to be tested with
fear and hunger and loss of life and loss of wealth and loss of effort.
		
00:47:11 --> 00:47:21
			Especially for the need to give good news to those who have suffered. What we are facing right now
could be all five. What we are facing right now, everyone's experiencing fear.
		
00:47:22 --> 00:47:25
			Some segments of society going to fear are going to face hunger.
		
00:47:27 --> 00:47:29
			A lot of people are going to experience death in their family.
		
00:47:31 --> 00:47:43
			A lot of people are going to experience an economic collapse, losing their job to the businesses
losing whatever they have to protect us or people are going to see the efforts over the past few
years go to waste.
		
00:47:45 --> 00:48:01
			All we can say is for Bashir salvini give good news to those who are patient and letting it flow but
most people don't call the inner Lila Rajan. Those who win aim Seba have fixed MPC to allow it
belongs to Him we return or was behind Allah has promised to test us
		
00:48:03 --> 00:48:04
			and so we are being tested.
		
00:48:05 --> 00:48:52
			Our job is to be patient, to pray Our Salah to adjust the laws accordingly. And whoever passes away
upon demand during this time, dies the good of the Shaheed all of your sins are forgiven. And
whoever survives it will have the rewards for the server. Allah will grant him ease of the archer.
So we end this presentation on that note, Allah make it easy for all of us may help us to survive
and thrive during these difficult times. me give us the sovereign and the man to come out from this
better Muslims close to him. Make easy for everybody who is suffering who is going through sickness
or loss of life, loss of relatives or loss of income during this time. And we end this difficulty in
		
00:48:52 --> 00:49:30
			our lives as quickly as possible. Call upon everyone to repent for our sins because indeed, We live
in a time to become more serious than perhaps ever before. And we don't even take our sins
seriously. is the time for us to reflect in our own lives our own sins, her own mistakes, ask Allah
for forgiveness, make some changes. Perhaps if enough of the Houma pens allow will love this machaca
from us. Bella made things easy for us may give us the ability to survive this me he helped us to
cheap the rewards of this. Walker dawanda I'm delighted to be alameen wa salam alaikum
