00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			Muhammad
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			We praise Allah
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			We send peace and blessings upon
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			our beloved Messenger, Muhammad
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			upon his family,
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			his companions, and those who follow them until
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			the end of time.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			Brothers and sisters,
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			Welcome back to our Tuesday gathering,
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			where we're reading from the book,
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			ilajanati rabbil 'alamin
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			of Imam al Qazari Rahim Muhullah.
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			And the last few weeks we've been talking
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			about some of the
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:04
			different opinions around the idea of religious innovation.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			And the sheikh, he says,
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			He
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			he was talking about the things that you
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:17
			have to know,
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			and you'll remember he divided those into 3
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			areas, right?
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			Knowledge of faith,
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			and this means, like, constantly throughout your life.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			And then he started to talk about knowledge
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			of Sharia,
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			right, fiqh.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			And then within
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			the idea of Sharia, he says,
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:39
			The word
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			when used
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			by classical scholars
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			means something
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			which has evidences
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			that they differ over.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			This is very important
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:55
			because sometimes we see people say, oh,
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:59
			this madhab doesn't have any evidences for this
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:00
			masala.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			Masa'il is the plural of masala.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			So people will say,
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:06
			this
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			or that
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			or this scholar or that scholar,
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			they don't have evidences for this.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			That's a mistake
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			in understanding terminology.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			The word
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			is used
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			when something has evidences
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			and the evidences are different over.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			Within the epistemological
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			framework of Sunni, Sharia, and Filk.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			And oftentimes
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			you can
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			understand
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:42
			who is not really aware of what they're
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			referring to or what they're talking about
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			when they fail to understand terms.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			The first thing Allah
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:53
			taught Adam was the meaning of terms.
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			So the first thing a student of knowledge
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			should be aware of
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			are what are the meanings of the terms
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			used by the scholars. If not, they're going
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			to be like Adam in without without knowing
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			how to name things.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10
			So when Sidna Imam Al Ghazali says
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:14
			of course
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:16
			doesn't take Tanween
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			then you have to know those
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			related to the sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			alaihi wasallam
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			which you have to know
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			and be careful of bidah.
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:41
			And then Imam Al Ghazari,
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			he defines
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			how you recognize
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			and here he goes with the opinion that
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			we talked about last week of the majority.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:53
			And of course, because Imam Alokazari
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:58
			is, right, he's going to follow his but
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			also as an independent thinker.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			He's going to follow where the where the
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			evidences lead him. So he's going to now
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:05
			use
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08
			the opinion of the majority of Sunnis. That
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			bidah is divided into 2,
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			commendable bidah
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			and reprehensible bidah.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			And as I noticed noted
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			that the contemporary Salafi school,
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			one of the hallmarks of this school is
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			that it takes opinions which were on the
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			fringes of Sunni thought
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			and tries to present them as the mainstream.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			I'm I'm not saying that to attack
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34
			anybody because those opinions, they have their evidences,
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:35
			they have their scholars,
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			they have their,
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			respected institutions,
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			even if we don't agree with them. But
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			we have to appreciate the fact fact that
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			oftentimes they are presenting opinions as we'll see
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:46
			today
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			that were considered strange
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			or on the margins
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53
			of what was considered mainstream
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			Sunni thought.
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			says,
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			What
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:06
			is a bidah?
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			Something for which there's no text. What do
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			you mean here by
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:13
			is Quran and
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			Sunnah means something that has
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			been traced back to
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			the early Muslims,
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			because if somebody falls into that, then they're
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39
			going to be in a very dangerous state
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:40
			with Allah.
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:42
			Last week
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43
			we talked about
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			the different opinions
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			of
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:52
			Suni ulama on the idea of Bida.
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:56
			We noted that the majority of Sunnis throughout
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			history divided Bida into good and bad bidah.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			Imam Shayl Faye has a great statement. He
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			says,
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23
			And again, we have some of our Shia
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			brothers and sisters.
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28
			You know, this is what causes people not
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			to like you when you act like that
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31
			in the comments box.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			Same thing with Sunnis who go and do
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:35
			that to Shia.
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			This is not the place for that. You
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:39
			wouldn't act like this
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:41
			in school.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			Right? You wouldn't act like this
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			in front of people. Be respectful.
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:49
			Right? If you wanna be respected, be respectful.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			If you wanna be disrespected,
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			act disrespectful. That's the rule of life.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			But I don't have time for this.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			We're trying to learn. So if you wanna
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			go be Jahal, go be Jahal
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:04
			Khalasya. So he says,
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			Sayyidina Imam Sheyaf, he says
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14
			anything which has any type of support from
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:14
			the sharia.
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:17
			Is not
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			even if the Salaf didn't do it.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			So he talked about these two opinions. I
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			think I gave almost 20 evidences
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			for the positions of the majority
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			on the idea of good and bad bira.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:33
			You can watch that,
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:37
			from last week, Insha'Allah, on YouTube. And then
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			we talked about some of the positions of
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:40
			the minority
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:41
			and their
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:47
			position that every innovation leads to being astray
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			and anything that leads astray takes you to
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			*. And we noted how the majority like
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:54
			Imam Anawi and Imam ibn Hajar and others
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:55
			say this hadith is authentic
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			but a general narration is often
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:02
			restricted
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:05
			or nuanced, and it's nuanced by the other
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:05
			hadith
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:06
			of the prophet
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15
			That takes us now to the second issue.
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17
			We're gonna try to cover it rather quickly
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:20
			because this is a broader discussion that you're
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:21
			going to find in Osu Rufik.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:22
			But this
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:23
			unfortunately
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:28
			is more commonly due to just people not
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:28
			knowing.
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:32
			And, again, you know, piety is a great
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			thing, but sometimes if piety is misplaced, placed,
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			it can create problems,
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:40
			right? It can create problems and this impacts
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:43
			people who are involved in work,
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:45
			people who are engaged,
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			you know, in, in dawah,
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:49
			people who,
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:51
			you know, are building organizations,
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:52
			institutions,
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			you name it. And that is that oftentimes
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			when you try to do something which people
		
00:08:58 --> 00:08:59
			haven't seen before
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:00
			or something
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03
			new, even in the areas of life, they'll
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:04
			say,
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:06
			the
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08
			prophet didn't do that.
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:12
			So so since the prophet didn't do it,
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13
			they are now implying
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:16
			that what the prophet
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:18
			did not do
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			means that something is prohibited.
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:24
			And again, if I can request people in
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:27
			the Zoom to keep their mute button on,
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			it's it's gonna be super appreciated, thank you.
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:32
			So the understanding by these people
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:34
			is that
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:43
			that the prophet 'alaihi salatu salam
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45
			he didn't do it,
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			so that means subhanAllah that its haram.
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:54
			This is really unfortunate because this kind of
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:55
			idea,
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:57
			contradicts
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:58
			the essence
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			of the text of Sharia
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:03
			and goes against the actions of the prophet
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:04
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			And in the books of Usulufik, you can
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			write this down. This is called
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:10
			Masala Atarq
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:12
			Masala
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:13
			Atarq.
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:17
			What does it mean when the Prophet Sallallahu
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:18
			Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:20
			has not done something?
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:22
			And when I use the word
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25
			you already understand what I said earlier, that
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:27
			means there's gonna be evidences, there's gonna be
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:29
			different positions taken, it's gonna be a little
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:30
			complex.
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33
			I'm gonna make it as easy for you
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:34
			as I can.
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:37
			The Sahih Muslim and Sahih al Bukhari,
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40
			the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa'ari he was Saqib
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:40
			wasallam
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:43
			he sat down with his companions
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:46
			and
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:47
			a lizard
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			was presented to him, a bub.
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			And the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:59
			he started to eat and then he realized
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			that it's this lizard and he refrained from
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:03
			eating.
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			And immediately
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08
			someone said to him,
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:17
			is this forbidden, O Messenger of Allah?
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:20
			And he said, la, no, look,
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			Just because he didn't do it, doesn't mean
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:25
			it's forbidden.
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:29
			So he corrects this understanding that just because
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31
			I didn't do it, it means it's forbidden.
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			So immediately he says, no,
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:41
			This is not a type of food
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43
			that is known to my people
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:45
			So I don't I don't prefer to eat
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:46
			it.
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:52
			Another example,
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:57
			that just because the prophet didn't do something,
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:01
			it's forbidden is Taraweeh in a group.
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:05
			The prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam we know for
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:06
			a while he prayed Taraweeh
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:09
			in a group and then he stopped.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			And then in the time of Sayidna Amr
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			Abdelkhotab Radiallahu Anhu,
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:18
			he continued it again. We talked about this
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:20
			text last week. If the prophet not doing
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:24
			something, Sallallahu alaihi wasallam meant that it was
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			forbidden, would have Umar done that?
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:28
			No.
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32
			Another example that we can give is the
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34
			compilation of the Quran.
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:40
			The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam in his lifetime
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:42
			the entire Quran was written down but not
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:45
			brought together in 1 most half.
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			This happens in the time of Sayyidina Amr
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:51
			Radi Sayyidina Abi Bakr RadiAllahu Anhu.
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:53
			So a turk
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:55
			let you feed albida
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			walahi you feed a tahreem.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:03
			The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam just because
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			he doesn't do something
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:06
			according to the majority
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:09
			of Ahlus Sunnah,
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:13
			it does not mean that thing is forbidden
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:14
			or an innovation.
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			So we're gonna talk about this today, and
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			we're gonna unpack it rather quickly, and then
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:21
			we're gonna try to finish
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:22
			the first
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:24
			section on knowledge
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:28
			from the book of Sayyidina Imam al Ghazari.
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
			Why why are we talking about this now?
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:31
			Because
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:34
			in the path of seeking knowledge, it's very
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:35
			dangerous.
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:38
			That's what Imam Al Khazari talks about towards
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:40
			the end, you gotta be kinda careful
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:49
			I'm gonna make a lot of mistakes.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			So we don't think that like the prophet
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			he said actually an authentic hadith
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:57
			be careful of the mistakes of teachers.
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:58
			That make mistakes.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:04
			First of all, we know that the sources
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:06
			of Islamic guidance generally are 4,
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:08
			the Quran
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:10
			and the Sunnah.
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:14
			As the Quran being the primary source of
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:15
			Islamic guidance
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:18
			and then the sunnah there's no difference of
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			opinion on this issue.
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			Then the second is Ijma, we talked about
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:27
			it before in Usul Ofilk. Now, Hassan, you
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:28
			can see why I was teaching Usul Ofilk
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:31
			before, so we can appreciate and understand what
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:31
			we're studying.
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			And the third is PS, analogy.
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:39
			The rest of the evidences,
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:42
			you know, scholars they differ over like
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:45
			in the
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:48
			means you have an authentic evidence,
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:51
			but you have other more compelling reasons that
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
			cause you to the
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:57
			other evidence over what may be authentic. So
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:01
			so you for whatever reason the jurist saw,
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:03
			this is makes more sense right now at
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:04
			this moment.
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:05
			It's called
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:09
			Scholars differ over there. Is it allowed? Is
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:10
			it not allowed?
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:13
			Is
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:16
			different over
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:21
			there. Another example is, is Tushab.
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:27
			Is a very interesting evidence because it means
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38
			Wow, which means that something maintains
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:42
			its ruling that it had in ancient times
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			until there's an evidence to show that now
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:48
			it's forbidden or now that its ruling changes.
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:49
			It's just from Sahaba.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:58
			But what we're talking about now
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			is from the Quran and Sunnah, we have
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:05
			2 very important things, they're very, very clear.
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:07
			Number 1, our commands.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:22
			Which means that
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:25
			an action is commanded of you, you have
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:27
			to do it. It's coming from Allah
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:29
			or the prophet telling you you have to
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:30
			do this like Akimu
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:31
			Salah.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:33
			This is called Amr.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:36
			This is very clear in the Quran. We
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:39
			all know this, pray, make Hajj, be nice
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			to people, give zakah.
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:43
			Number 2,
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:47
			what we are prohibited
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:48
			from doing.
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:52
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says about alcohol
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:56
			abandon it,
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:58
			It's called Nahi.
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:01
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:06
			don't come close to Zina,
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:13
			and the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam encapsulates both
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15
			of these ideas in the hadith of
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
			related by Bukhari Muslim.
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:30
			The prophet said what I commanded you to
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:30
			do,
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:33
			do it as best you can
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:36
			and what I prohibited you,
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:37
			avoid it.
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			So we have 2 things
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			in the Quran and in the Sunnah,
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:47
			And we have 2 very important axioms.
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:53
			That a command
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:55
			means that thing is an obligation
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:59
			unless there is an evidence to to show
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:00
			it's not an obligation.
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:04
			Number 2,
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:07
			a prohibition
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:10
			means something
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:12
			which
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:15
			its default is hormah.
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:28
			Unless we find an evidence to show that
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:30
			it's not it's not haram, it's
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:33
			so
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:35
			the of a prohibition and nahi
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:37
			is haram.
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:40
			The foundation of a command is an obligation.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:43
			The foundation of a prohibition is haram.
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:45
			Here's my question, and this is why I
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:46
			want you to use your mind.
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:49
			None of those mentioned tark.
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:54
			None of those mentioned
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:55
			not doing something.
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:58
			Allah says
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:07
			So to Hasher, I think verse 7,
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:10
			whatever the prophet commanded, do it.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			Whatever
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:14
			uh-uh
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:16
			the prophet prohibited,
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:18
			avoid it.
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:23
			It It doesn't say anything about Turk,
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:25
			what the prophet didn't do,
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:29
			and this is where we find people confused.
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:33
			Oh, the Prophet didn't do it Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:33
			Wasallam,
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:35
			the Salaf didn't do
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:40
			it so it must be forbidden, but we
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:41
			don't find anything clear
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			in the Sharia like we find with commands
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:46
			and prohibitions, what I want you to understand
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:47
			right now.
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:50
			So on one end, we have amr.
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:53
			On the other end, we have a nahi.
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:55
			Al amru, the command means
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:57
			you got to do it unless there's evidences
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			to show the intensity is reduced.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03
			Al Nahi means it's prohibited unless there's evidence
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:04
			to show it's reduced.
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			Now the question is, what about tarq?
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:13
			And you have to also be careful with
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:14
			this
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:18
			because there are different levels of commands and
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:19
			different levels of prohibition.
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:23
			For example,
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:26
			Sayyidina Abdullah ibn Mubare
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:31
			mentions from Ibn Abi Dakhila from his father
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:35
			that his father was sitting behind Sayyidina Abdullah
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:36
			ibn Umar
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:41
			And Abdullah ibn Umar was teaching
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:43
			and he said to the people,
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:52
			that the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam prohibited
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:54
			was
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:57
			kind of a fermented drink
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:59
			and dates that are fermented.
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:02
			Somebody tapped
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:03
			the back
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:05
			of
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:07
			Abi Dakhila his father
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:10
			and he said what what did Abdullah ibn
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:11
			Umar say?
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:14
			So he turned and he said,
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:22
			He said Abdullah, he didn't say nahi, he
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:25
			changed the word from nahi to harama.
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:28
			He said Abdullah ibn Umar,
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:29
			he said
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:31
			that the prophet
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:34
			made these 2 drinks haram.
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:37
			Then Abdullah ibn Umar,
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:39
			He turned around
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:45
			and he said to him
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:48
			Cadet,
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:53
			you're a liar.
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:57
			And where did you hear that?
		
00:21:58 --> 00:21:59
			He said, I heard it from you.
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:02
			He said, what did I say? He said,
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:04
			exactly. I didn't say, I
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:05
			said,
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09
			so he corrected him because he understood it
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11
			wrong that it was forbidden. What he meant
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:12
			was it's like or
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:14
			it's disliked.
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:16
			So you you have to be very careful
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:17
			here.
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:21
			But what we're talking about now, Masha'Allah,
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:21
			Masha'Allah,
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:24
			is
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:29
			a tuck.
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:33
			And again, if someone can hit their mute
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:35
			button, I would super appreciate it.
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:36
			Insha'Allah.
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:39
			The Prophet
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:41
			not doing something
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:43
			falls under 1 of 6 categories.
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:45
			And again,
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:49
			let's hold off on the questions perhaps,
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:51
			in
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:57
			on Instagram, listen, you know, you may find
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59
			the answer to what you're about to ask.
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:02
			But when the prophet
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:04
			in general,
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:06
			he didn't do something.
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:09
			It falls under 1 of 6 things. Number
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:12
			1, it's an ada. It's a custom.
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:15
			So the prophet he didn't wear a suit
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:17
			and tie, or he didn't wear
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:19
			slacks, or
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:22
			those things that are related to Adat.
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:24
			He didn't do that
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			He didn't dress like the Habashi people, he
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:29
			didn't dress like the Masris, he didn't dress
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:32
			like people from other parts of the world.
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:39
			And we understand that
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:42
			the foundations of norms and cultural norms is
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:43
			permissible.
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:45
			So here, the fact that the prophet didn't
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:47
			do it doesn't mean it's forbidden.
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:49
			You have to remember this.
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:53
			And the statement,
		
00:23:57 --> 00:24:00
			right? This type of food is not from
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:02
			my area, but it's not
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:05
			haram. There you go. So if it's not
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:06
			haram, it's.
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:08
			So we say that anything
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:09
			which the prophet left
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:11
			due to ada,
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:12
			due
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:15
			to any type of cultural thing as long
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:16
			as, of course, it doesn't go against a
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:18
			clear text of the Quran and Sunnah like
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:19
			in our time,
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:21
			is understood to be permissible.
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:25
			The second is that he left something maybe
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:27
			because he forgot it,
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:33
			and this hadith we find mentioned by also
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:34
			Bukhari Muslim
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:37
			where the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was praying
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:38
			and he left something from Salah
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:42
			and then they asked him
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47
			The Sahaba asked him did something happen
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			in the prayer, that prayer has been changed?
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:00
			I'm a man just like you,
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:03
			sometimes I forget, sometimes you forget.
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			If I forget, remind me
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:11
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:18
			The third is that the prophet left
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:21
			something fearing that it will become difficult on
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:22
			the people
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:23
			like Tarawih.
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:27
			So the first three types we mentioned are
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:29
			permissible people forget, they forget.
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:34
			Number 3, the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam he
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:38
			was scared what will happen with the people.
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:40
			Like he said,
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:43
			if I wasn't,
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:45
			you know, worried about my ummah, I would
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			command them to use Mi Swak in every
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:48
			prayer.
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:51
			So he left it
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:53
			in order to make it easy for the
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:54
			people.
		
00:25:59 --> 00:25:59
			The second,
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:03
			the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, the example we
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:04
			gave with Taraweeh.
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:07
			He's concerned that it will be made hard
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:08
			on the people
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:09
			Sallallahu
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:10
			Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:14
			The 4th
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:18
			is something that the prophet didn't even think
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:20
			about. It wasn't something on his mind.
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:21
			It wasn't
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:23
			his concern.
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:26
			For example,
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:28
			when they built a minbar for him,
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:34
			the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:37
			Wasallam, he used to give his khutba on
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:38
			the tree stump,
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:39
			and
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:41
			then he left it because they built him
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:44
			a minbar. He didn't think about that.
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:47
			Just because he did and if
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:48
			a Turk,
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:52
			if not doing something, mean it was haram,
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:54
			would those people around him even thought that
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:56
			it was allowed for them to build a
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:57
			member for him?
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:01
			If the prophetic generation thought that anything the
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:03
			prophet hasn't done,
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:05
			everything he left,
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:08
			would they have had the ingenuity to build
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:10
			the mimbar for him? No, because they would
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:12
			have thought it's haram.
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:14
			I'm not allowed to do this.
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:19
			But the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			Sallam, we know he was pleased with them
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:24
			building him the minbar, wasn't something in his
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:24
			radar.
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:31
			The 5th that the prophet
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:35
			left something because it's allowed to leave it
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:39
			from those things which are good. Sometimes he
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:41
			did it, sometimes he didn't do
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:43
			it, but he didn't order people to do
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:44
			it. Allah says,
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:48
			we talked about this verse last week in
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:49
			Surat Al Hajj
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:51
			verse number the 77.
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:54
			Allah says do good,
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			you will succeed. For example,
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:01
			Sometimes the prophet prayed duha.
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:03
			Sometimes the prophet didn't pray duha.
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:04
			Sallallahu
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:06
			alaihi wasalam. Sometimes he fasted.
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:09
			Sometimes he didn't fast outside of the month
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:09
			of Ramadan
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:13
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and most of this is
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:14
			going to fall under what's called almandubat,
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:16
			the recommended things.
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:22
			The 6th
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:27
			is that the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:27
			Wasallam,
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:30
			he left something
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:34
			looking after what is best and easiest
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:36
			for the people.
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:38
			What we talk about in in
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:51
			with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala means a promise.
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:54
			Someone's asking doesn't
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:56
			mean maybe, maybe not,
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:01
			It's a promise. So the 6 is that
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:02
			the Prophet
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:04
			left something
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:05
			looking
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:06
			after the Maqasim,
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:10
			what's best for the people.
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:13
			So for example,
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:16
			the hadith of Sayda Aisha
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:17
			related
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:19
			by Imam
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:22
			Marek in Namuwata
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:24
			and Imam Muslim.
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:28
			At the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:37
			that if it wasn't that your people just
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:38
			became Muslim
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:42
			and left Kufr,
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:45
			I will knock down the Kaaba
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:48
			and have it rebuilt on the foundations of
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:48
			Ibrahim.
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:52
			Here the prophet, he doesn't do it
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:54
			because there's a greater good that's gonna come
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:55
			out of it.
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:58
			Because he knows if he knocks down the
		
00:29:58 --> 00:30:00
			Kaaba, this is an icon for the people
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:00
			of Mecca,
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:02
			they're gonna go crazy.
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:06
			So what's better to not knock down the
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:07
			Kaaba and rebuild it
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:10
			and create
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:11
			civil
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:13
			unrest
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:17
			or to leave the Kaaba as it is
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:19
			and allow the community to be together.
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:21
			How many
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:21
			Muslims,
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:24
			they're fighting over issues of
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:28
			issues of secondary issues, destroying the unity of
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:29
			the Muslims.
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:30
			Here's your prophet Sallallahu
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:32
			Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:34
			leaving the Kaaba on the wrong foundations
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:37
			to look after the wahd of the Muslimi,
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:40
			the unity of the Muslims.
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:43
			So six areas
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:45
			when we examine
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:48
			the life of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:50
			sallam where he left something.
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:52
			Number 1, it's a habit.
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:56
			Number 2, he may have forgot.
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:57
			Number 3,
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:02
			he wasn't thinking about it, wasn't on his
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:02
			radar.
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:05
			Number 4, that it will become a hardship
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:06
			on his community.
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:09
			Number 5, that it's allowed not to do
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:11
			it or to do it like Dua.
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:12
			And number
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:16
			6,
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:20
			looking after what's beneficial for the people
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:24
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam So now if we see
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:25
			somebody just saying, oh, you're
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:28
			doing something that the prophet didn't do, it
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:30
			must mean that it's forbidden.
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:31
			Here's
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:33
			six examples of where it's not forbidden.
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:38
			Right there in front of you.
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:42
			And
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:44
			the reason that this is important is this
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:47
			is how people, their good is undermined by
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:48
			others, man.
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:50
			I remember when care started,
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:53
			years ago,
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:56
			and people were tearing down their flyers in
		
00:31:56 --> 00:31:58
			the Masjid in Northern California.
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:01
			And we asked 1 of the brothers, why
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:03
			do you keep tearing down the flyers for
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:04
			CAIR and Islamic Relief
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:07
			and, you know, whatever these
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:10
			great organizations? And he was like, the prophet
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:11
			didn't do this.
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:14
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:17
			Let's explain this a little further, and then
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:20
			we'll finish and move on to reading from
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:22
			our text. 1 of our teachers,
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:24
			the Sheikh of our Sheikh,
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:26
			he wrote a poem about this. He said
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:34
			This actually is an axiom, you should write
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:36
			this down, you should memorize it, you should
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:37
			put it in your head.
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:42
			Means the prophet didn't do it.
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:44
			Him not doing something
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:46
			is not a proof.
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:50
			Because the foundation of ataq, as we just
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:52
			showed in 6 examples, is permissible.
		
00:32:57 --> 00:32:59
			It's not a proof to show something is
		
00:32:59 --> 00:32:59
			forbidden.
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:03
			Of course, there's details like acts of worship
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:03
			and korba.
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:06
			Honestly, we know that that's a different discussion.
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:08
			We're talking now about things beyond that.
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:18
			The Sheikh, he says that a tark
		
00:33:19 --> 00:33:20
			nabi
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:22
			alaihis salatu salam
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:23
			does not necessitate
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:25
			something is forbidden
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:26
			or obligatory.
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:29
			As we said earlier,
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:42
			That a command means an obligation, that a
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:43
			prohibition
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:45
			means forbidden, and that leaving something
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:47
			means permissibility
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:51
			unless there's an evidence to show otherwise or
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:53
			it's related to issues of Ibadah that are
		
00:33:53 --> 00:33:54
			not related to Istihab.
		
00:33:57 --> 00:33:58
			So he says,
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:10
			And he says, so whoever
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:11
			extracts
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:13
			from the fact that the prophet didn't do
		
00:34:13 --> 00:34:14
			something,
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:17
			a ruling which is forbidden,
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:20
			and they see that as like that's what's
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:21
			correct.
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:27
			This person has strayed from the proper methodology
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:28
			of the evidences,
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:31
			every single one of them.
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:37
			And in fact, what they've done is they've
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:38
			destroyed the original ruling.
		
00:34:39 --> 00:34:42
			The original ruling is permissibility. So they've actually
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:43
			brought down the Sharia.
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:46
			In the name of Taqwa, in the name
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:47
			of Piety,
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:48
			they've
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:50
			created problems.
		
00:34:57 --> 00:34:59
			The only time we know that a Turk
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:01
			means something is forbidden,
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:04
			if we're forbidden to do it. So the
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:06
			first, because we didn't talk about it. How
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:08
			do I know that the prophet not doing
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:10
			something means it's forbidden? There's a text that
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:12
			says you shouldn't do it.
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:13
			For example,
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:15
			Allahu
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:17
			says,
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:21
			stay away from alcohol. The prophet he stayed
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:23
			away from alcohol. So there we see a
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:25
			text. We see the
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:30
			brought about with the the prophet not doing
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:30
			that thing.
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:32
			So that's the first.
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:39
			So there's a text that says like, if
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:41
			you do this, you'll be punished. Allah
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:45
			says
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:50
			Whoever
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:54
			usurps the property of the orphans has eaten
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:54
			fire.
		
00:35:56 --> 00:35:57
			There's a threat of punishment.
		
00:35:58 --> 00:36:00
			So the prophet avoids it because we find
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:02
			a text that says it's forbidden.
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:06
			So something that the prophet
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:08
			left
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:12
			and there is a text that identifies that
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:12
			act
		
00:36:13 --> 00:36:14
			as something that will be punished.
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:22
			In the second way, we know that a
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:22
			Turk
		
00:36:23 --> 00:36:24
			Yufid Alhurma
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:27
			is if the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:29
			or if the Quran
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:33
			have threatened that act or shamed that act
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:34
			if you will with punishment.
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:39
			Like the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said,
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:42
			Whoever
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:46
			whoever
		
00:36:46 --> 00:36:49
			abandoned prayer has fallen into disbelief.
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:55
			But the prophet said, man,
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:58
			whoever cheats is not from us.
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:06
			So the first is we find if we
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:08
			find an action and and the prophet didn't
		
00:37:08 --> 00:37:10
			do it and we find texts that say
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:12
			doing the action brings about a punishment in
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:13
			the hereafter.
		
00:37:13 --> 00:37:16
			The second, if the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:16
			or the Sharia
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:18
			mentioned an action
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:21
			and they like shame it or rebuke
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:25
			it. Like the one I just gave
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:29
			and the last
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:32
			if you find something in the word is
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:34
			mentioned with it, and the prophet
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:36
			didn't
		
00:37:37 --> 00:37:37
			do
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:39
			it
		
00:37:40 --> 00:37:41
			For example,
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:43
			Right?
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:44
			That pig
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:46
			and and and Karen,
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:50
			those meats have been made forbidden for you
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:51
			to eat.
		
00:37:52 --> 00:37:54
			Did the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:37:57 --> 00:37:59
			Did the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam avoid
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:00
			eating pork? Absolutely.
		
00:38:01 --> 00:38:03
			Is there a verse that says it's haram?
		
00:38:03 --> 00:38:06
			Absolutely. So now we say in this instance,
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:07
			a
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:12
			You have to pay attention to this. This
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:13
			is very important.
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:15
			And some people will say, well, Lai, this
		
00:38:15 --> 00:38:17
			is complicated. Exactly.
		
00:38:17 --> 00:38:18
			It is complicated.
		
00:38:20 --> 00:38:21
			Don't talk about what you don't know.
		
00:38:23 --> 00:38:24
			Don't step into that arena.
		
00:38:29 --> 00:38:31
			So, four things we wanna remember about when
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:34
			people say the prophet didn't do it, Sallallahu
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:35
			Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:38:36 --> 00:38:37
			The number 1,
		
00:38:38 --> 00:38:39
			a
		
00:38:40 --> 00:38:42
			Turk right, that the foundation
		
00:38:42 --> 00:38:43
			of things that are prohibited,
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:47
			that the prophet didn't do, excuse me, is
		
00:38:47 --> 00:38:47
			permissible
		
00:38:47 --> 00:38:49
			except an acts of worship.
		
00:38:51 --> 00:38:53
			And even then there's a lot of discussion
		
00:38:53 --> 00:38:56
			as we talked about Bir Hassan Abid Ahmed
		
00:38:56 --> 00:38:57
			Mumma last week
		
00:38:58 --> 00:38:59
			and the statement of Sayyid
		
00:39:10 --> 00:39:12
			Then we talked about how do we recognize
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:14
			if the prophet not doing something means it's
		
00:39:14 --> 00:39:15
			forbidden?
		
00:39:15 --> 00:39:16
			Number 1,
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:20
			if there is a nahiyu that accomplice a
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:23
			comp accompanies it, a clear prohibition like
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:28
			Zina. Don't come close to Zina. The Prophet,
		
00:39:28 --> 00:39:29
			he didn't do it. There's the text. There
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:30
			you go, hamdruillah.
		
00:39:31 --> 00:39:32
			Number
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:37
			2, or the prophet he
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:40
			spoke ill of that action.
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:42
			For example, cheating.
		
00:39:53 --> 00:39:54
			And in the last we said if the
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:58
			word haram is mentioned in the context of
		
00:39:58 --> 00:39:59
			the act.
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:02
			So then a person may ask, like, what
		
00:40:02 --> 00:40:04
			do I do in this situation? That's why
		
00:40:05 --> 00:40:07
			it's important to refer to teachers.
		
00:40:09 --> 00:40:11
			Right? That's why it's important to talk to
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:14
			people who have a background in Islamic law
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:16
			about issues.
		
00:40:18 --> 00:40:20
			And it's nothing wrong with asking people, like,
		
00:40:20 --> 00:40:22
			was your specialty law?
		
00:40:23 --> 00:40:25
			Because Islamic law is complex.
		
00:40:26 --> 00:40:27
			It's not simple.
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:32
			Any questions about this
		
00:40:34 --> 00:40:35
			before we
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:37
			continue
		
00:40:38 --> 00:40:39
			because I know that was a lot of
		
00:40:39 --> 00:40:40
			information
		
00:40:41 --> 00:40:42
			and we talked about
		
00:40:45 --> 00:40:47
			Al Bida for 2 weeks.
		
00:40:48 --> 00:40:49
			And that's why, for example,
		
00:40:52 --> 00:40:52
			when we find,
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:55
			say, you know, certain scholars say,
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:01
			You know, this is something that the didn't
		
00:41:01 --> 00:41:02
			do
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:05
			or that the prophet didn't do. That demands
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:06
			investigation.
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:10
			What type of not doing happened here?
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:14
			Was was it a not doing because it
		
00:41:14 --> 00:41:16
			was mentioned in in the context of a
		
00:41:16 --> 00:41:18
			nahi, it was mentioned in the context of
		
00:41:18 --> 00:41:19
			a punishment in the hereafter,
		
00:41:19 --> 00:41:21
			it was mentioned in the context of the
		
00:41:21 --> 00:41:22
			prophet
		
00:41:22 --> 00:41:23
			shaming that action,
		
00:41:24 --> 00:41:25
			Or was it just talk
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:27
			that they didn't do it?
		
00:41:29 --> 00:41:31
			Now you see something, and this is where
		
00:41:31 --> 00:41:31
			you find
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:36
			Sayduna
		
00:41:39 --> 00:41:39
			Abu Bakr
		
00:41:40 --> 00:41:42
			arguing about the compilation of the Quran and
		
00:41:42 --> 00:41:43
			Umar.
		
00:41:44 --> 00:41:48
			Someone's asking if saying salaam after prayers is
		
00:41:48 --> 00:41:49
			biddah, how could it be a biddah?
		
00:41:50 --> 00:41:53
			The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he said spread
		
00:41:53 --> 00:41:55
			the salaam. You have an evidence for this.
		
00:41:56 --> 00:41:57
			Nashruh As Salam.
		
00:41:58 --> 00:42:01
			Like when people ask is saying Jumah Mubarak
		
00:42:02 --> 00:42:04
			bidah what's wrong with saying
		
00:42:05 --> 00:42:06
			kalima hasana sadaqa?
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:10
			The prophet said that a good word is
		
00:42:11 --> 00:42:13
			we have to be very careful of taking
		
00:42:14 --> 00:42:15
			Islamic legal issues
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:19
			from people who don't know.
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:22
			People asking about Mother's Day and Father's Day.
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:26
			People, so again, someone saying, what about shaking
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:28
			hands after salah? The prophet
		
00:42:29 --> 00:42:31
			said, if you shake the hand of a
		
00:42:31 --> 00:42:34
			Muslim before your hands depart, all your sins
		
00:42:34 --> 00:42:36
			are forgiven. Look what happened to the Ummah
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:37
			of the prophet
		
00:42:37 --> 00:42:40
			that now even the sunnah became a bitter
		
00:42:41 --> 00:42:43
			and the bitterah became sunnah.
		
00:42:45 --> 00:42:47
			And we know, unfortunately,
		
00:42:47 --> 00:42:50
			that this idea and this way of thinking
		
00:42:51 --> 00:42:53
			is again being brought in from the margins
		
00:42:54 --> 00:42:55
			of sunnitaat,
		
00:42:55 --> 00:42:58
			not the majority of sunnitaat. I remember years
		
00:42:58 --> 00:43:01
			ago when I heard people saying saying Jumaa
		
00:43:01 --> 00:43:01
			Mubarakah
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:04
			is a bidah. What are you supposed to
		
00:43:04 --> 00:43:06
			say to someone then? Nothing?
		
00:43:07 --> 00:43:08
			Assalamu alaikum.
		
00:43:10 --> 00:43:13
			SubhanAllah I wrote, there's a fatwa online about
		
00:43:13 --> 00:43:14
			this, that
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:15
			the foundation
		
00:43:15 --> 00:43:17
			of any type of greeting
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:18
			is permissible
		
00:43:20 --> 00:43:22
			because it falls under something the prophet didn't
		
00:43:22 --> 00:43:23
			do it,
		
00:43:24 --> 00:43:26
			but he did say salaam to people.
		
00:43:29 --> 00:43:30
			And that's why I said one of the
		
00:43:30 --> 00:43:32
			purposes of this halaqa
		
00:43:32 --> 00:43:33
			is to reformat
		
00:43:34 --> 00:43:35
			our minds,
		
00:43:36 --> 00:43:38
			not on my understanding, but on the majority
		
00:43:38 --> 00:43:39
			of Sunnis
		
00:43:40 --> 00:43:41
			throughout history.
		
00:43:47 --> 00:43:49
			Again, what is more knowledgeable, though? So some
		
00:43:49 --> 00:43:51
			people say it's hard to argue with someone
		
00:43:51 --> 00:43:52
			who is more knowledgeable.
		
00:43:53 --> 00:43:55
			When someone is more knowledgeable, what does that
		
00:43:55 --> 00:43:56
			mean? That's an abstraction.
		
00:43:57 --> 00:43:59
			Does that person have a degree
		
00:44:00 --> 00:44:00
			from
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:03
			a Sharia department? Have they studied in a
		
00:44:03 --> 00:44:05
			in a legal system of Islam?
		
00:44:06 --> 00:44:07
			If not,
		
00:44:07 --> 00:44:08
			then
		
00:44:08 --> 00:44:10
			they should stay away from that, and that's
		
00:44:10 --> 00:44:12
			not disrespectful. That's being honest.
		
00:44:13 --> 00:44:14
			We wouldn't go to a doctor
		
00:44:15 --> 00:44:17
			who has no degrees and no background and
		
00:44:17 --> 00:44:19
			say, well, the doctor is older, so I'm
		
00:44:19 --> 00:44:21
			just gonna let them treat me. Why? They're
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:22
			older.
		
00:44:22 --> 00:44:25
			Then you die. You can die on your
		
00:44:25 --> 00:44:25
			sword.
		
00:44:26 --> 00:44:28
			So you wanna be very careful.
		
00:44:29 --> 00:44:30
			The din is different, and the din is
		
00:44:30 --> 00:44:31
			serious.
		
00:44:32 --> 00:44:34
			And we can be respectful, right, can be
		
00:44:34 --> 00:44:37
			respectful but we also need to be honest
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:39
			with people, Alhamdulillahi
		
00:44:40 --> 00:44:40
			rabbalami.
		
00:44:41 --> 00:44:43
			Let's move on Insha'Allah then to
		
00:44:44 --> 00:44:44
			O Aya.
		
00:44:48 --> 00:44:50
			Someone's asking about praying with subtle
		
00:44:51 --> 00:44:53
			and if one should leave this permissible act
		
00:44:53 --> 00:44:55
			if it will cause discord. So we know
		
00:44:55 --> 00:44:56
			that, you know,
		
00:44:56 --> 00:44:58
			the Maliki Medha have prays with Irsail
		
00:44:59 --> 00:45:01
			as does the Jafari Medha. But for the
		
00:45:01 --> 00:45:04
			Malekis, you know, we have a very important
		
00:45:04 --> 00:45:04
			principle
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:05
			that
		
00:45:06 --> 00:45:07
			was called
		
00:45:07 --> 00:45:10
			although it's different over, but in general, what
		
00:45:10 --> 00:45:11
			that means is.
		
00:45:12 --> 00:45:12
			And by the way,
		
00:45:14 --> 00:45:16
			the opinion in the Med Heb is to
		
00:45:16 --> 00:45:17
			pray like this, but when you read the
		
00:45:17 --> 00:45:18
			great scholars of the Med Heb, they say
		
00:45:18 --> 00:45:20
			you should pray like this,
		
00:45:20 --> 00:45:22
			Just keeping it easy. Put your hands here.
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:27
			But there's also something to be said
		
00:45:29 --> 00:45:29
			that
		
00:45:30 --> 00:45:32
			in the madhab we have what's called
		
00:45:32 --> 00:45:35
			it goes back to leaving something, great question,
		
00:45:35 --> 00:45:37
			Jessica, in order to preserve the unity of
		
00:45:37 --> 00:45:37
			the Muslims.
		
00:45:38 --> 00:45:40
			So in the madhab of Imam Malik, if
		
00:45:40 --> 00:45:42
			I pray somewhere and the majority of the
		
00:45:42 --> 00:45:44
			people, they don't pray like this with their
		
00:45:44 --> 00:45:46
			hands to the side, I should pray the
		
00:45:46 --> 00:45:48
			way they pray for the unity of the
		
00:45:48 --> 00:45:50
			Muslims. This is mentioned by Sheikh Al Adui
		
00:45:51 --> 00:45:52
			in his hashet
		
00:45:52 --> 00:45:54
			ala the the result of even Abi Zayel
		
00:45:54 --> 00:45:55
			Qairwani
		
00:45:55 --> 00:45:57
			and also Imam al Dusuki
		
00:45:57 --> 00:45:59
			and Ashakal Kabir, so absolutely.
		
00:46:01 --> 00:46:02
			Someone said they were corrected because they said
		
00:46:02 --> 00:46:03
			Ramadan Mubarak
		
00:46:04 --> 00:46:06
			How is this be that the Prophet said
		
00:46:08 --> 00:46:09
			to say a good word
		
00:46:16 --> 00:46:18
			Khalas, let's jump back into the book that
		
00:46:18 --> 00:46:19
			we're reading
		
00:46:20 --> 00:46:21
			of Sayyidina Imam,
		
00:46:21 --> 00:46:22
			Al Ghazari
