AI: Summary ©

The history and meaning behind "IT" and "IT" in Arabic is discussed, with "IT" used to describe actions and events and "IT" used to describe actions or events. The speakers also discuss the responsibility of learning and utilizing Masuliatun Umay granted, which is irresponsible, and the differences between the actions of the Prophet and the actions of the people of Madina. The actions of the Prophet are clearly stated in the text, while the actions of the people of Madina are stated in the text. The qualifications of the people who can use the evidence to come to a proper conclusion and how they can benefit from the meaning are also discussed.

00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			This has a history with me, Alhamdulillah, this
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:30
			text.
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			That I'll explain hopefully in the future, but
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			welcome. I hope you're doing great. Insha'Allah, safe
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			and sound and your families
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			and your loved ones are doing well.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			So he says,
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			There's a few points that need to be
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			made here.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			Number 1 is, the turuk
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			is very different than, for example, if you're
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			in Al Azhar now studying, you know that
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32
			if you're not Hanafi, the Maqkar is Al
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			Minhaj of Sayna Imam Al Qadi Al Baydawi
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37
			with the explanation of Sayna Imam al Isnaawi
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			al Shafi'i Rahimu Allah.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			And we know that Imam Abu Baidawi and
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			other scholars of Usulufirq, they say
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			Right? That usurufakk is knowing
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			the dalail
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			in a general way.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			Imam Al Asnawi
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			offers important criticism that shows us the genius
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			of Abu Ishaq al Shirazi and Imam Al
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			Haramin.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			And the
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			the
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			incredible depth of the Arabic language they possess
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			their knowledge
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			of
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			it. That they didn't say
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:18
			they said Okay. Why? Because the word daleel
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			according to the majority of the Usuleen, as
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			I heard from doctor Abdul Salam Alatiyaq al
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:22
			Azharri
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			who taught us in the quality of sharia,
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			is that
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			the word daleel or adillah
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			means according to the scholars of Usul of
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			Firth, the majority
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			something which is definitive.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			So if
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51
			he would have contradicted what he said earlier
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			when he said that
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			That firk is the process of extracting rulings
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			with ishtihad.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:01
			Because ishtihad is not something which is definitive.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			Right? It is a process which is based
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:05
			on like,
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			negotiation,
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			right?
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:11
			And engagement and research and theory.
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:12
			So
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:13
			ishtihad
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:14
			means
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			text or no text,
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:17
			scholarship,
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:19
			outcome.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			That scholarship process
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:23
			makes this not
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:25
			completely sacred.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			The process is sacred, but the outcome is
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			negotiable. Meaning you don't have to, I don't
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			have to agree. You don't have to agree
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:34
			with someone if it's based on istihad, if
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			we follow someone else's istihad who is credible.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			So here we
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			see,
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			The second
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			is that he does not condition
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			He doesn't say
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			He
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:05
			says,
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:07
			That is
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:08
			the
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:13
			And that's very, very profound as I heard
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			from one of my teachers because
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			the other scholars, some of them say,
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:20
			to know. So that means that the usula
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			are predicated on us knowing them.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			But Sayna Imam Al Haramain and the majority
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:28
			of Usuli'in from, Al Mutakalimin, they say, la,
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:28
			la,
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			la, la.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			Usur Al Fakk is here whether people know
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			it or not. And that means that, masha'Allah,
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:41
			the responsibility
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			of learning and employing these
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			Masuliatun
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:49
			Umayyah right is irresponsible of the Ummah of
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:52
			the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam Fa'aina manuhamilhadihil
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:53
			Usulah
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			Who's the person that's going to engage and
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			utilize these usula until the end of time?
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			And we'll talk about this more towards the
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			end of the text when we talk about
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			are there any more Mujtahids left?
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			You know, sometimes we hear people irresponsibly say,
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			there's no scholars, there's no ishtiha, there's no
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			Mujtahids.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			Khalas, and there's no deen.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			So Imam Al Haramain
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			Rahimu Hola, he says,
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:22
			like my janky readers,
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:29
			means that there is a general recognition of
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:30
			what these
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			non definitive and definitive
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:34
			evidences are.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:37
			That's why Sayyidina Imam al Hatab, he says,
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:38
			what?
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			The statement of imam al Haramay. And then
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			between what and usul is a statement of
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:42
			al haqqab
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:49
			which you find in this book.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:56
			Right?
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			These are the ways that are gonna lead
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			you to
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05
			What does he mean by
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			In a general way. Then he gives examples,
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			You know for example, is a command.
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			There are 8 opinions amongst the Usuli'im.
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			Ijma'ad to know this. It's like general, you
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:21
			know this.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			Right?
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			It's like a general kind of thing.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			What does the action of the Prophet mean?
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:36
			There's tashriya,
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:39
			gairo tashriya, it's more aqada, it's not more
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:40
			and so on and so
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			forth.
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58
			Walhas walmujmal
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			walamwalkhas.
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:04
			Right? Universal text, specific text, walmujmal, ambiguous text
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:05
			like
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:06
			biadihi,
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17
			So so like these kind of things are
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:20
			gonna fall under like a general knowledge, not
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:23
			specific. The amr means this, the nahi means
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			this, the action of the prophet means this,
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			qiyas means this, ijmaj means this. That's different
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:28
			than Ara Sabir tafsir.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:33
			Ara Sabir tafsir specifically is fiqh.
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			As I said earlier, then Imam Al Habab
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			says like, does does a command mean that
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50
			it's an obligation?
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:53
			Does a prohibition mean that it is forbidden?
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:01
			And then there's this general kind of engagement,
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			are the rest of these things proof or
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:04
			not like the actions of the people of
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			Madina? We'll talk about it in the future.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			Will talk about it in the future. Will
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:09
			talk about
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:11
			in the future, and so on and so
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:12
			forth.
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:16
			And
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			more things to come, Al Haqqab says. Then
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			here Al Haqqab says something important. The difference
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:21
			between
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			And he said,
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			is different than fiqh
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:42
			because the tawrq of fiqh are specific to
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:43
			actions
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:44
			and situations,
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:46
			and they come with descriptions,
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:51
			right, that cause you to arrive to certain
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			conclusions.
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			And that is that the tariq,
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06
			right, the methods of fiqh,
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			the evidences and so on and so forth
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:10
			of fiqh lead to specific
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:11
			actions,
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:14
			specific situations.
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:20
			And those turuk
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:23
			guide us to the ruling of that specific
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:26
			situation. So was dealing with the text,
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:27
			the evidences,
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:28
			whether definitive
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			or not definitive, whether textual
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			or not specifically textual
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:37
			where
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:38
			is
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			The specific issue. So
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			he gives a few examples.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57
			So fiqh is going to be something which
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:57
			is
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			clearly coming from a text without
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:05
			or there's ishihad involved or there is,
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:08
			something which is going on between the intellect
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			of the scholar, the issue and the texts.
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			Allah says establish
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:20
			The al Suri is gonna look at
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28
			Right? This text means obligation. The Fakkir is
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			gonna say this text
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:30
			is
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33
			proof that establishing
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:36
			prayer is an obligation and somebody who doesn't
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:39
			do it makes himself eligible for punishment, and
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			someone who does makes himself eligible for reward.
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:53
			Right? This means this this is a nahi.
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:58
			The faqir is gonna say this is a
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			text which shows the act of adultery is
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			forbidden and makes someone eligible for *, and
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			someone who leaves it, inshallah, will be rewarded.
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			The prophet is praying in the Kaaba. Is
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13
			it Mu'akada? Is it
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			Nadab, Skarav Firkh is gonna say this is
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			this kind of sunnah this kind of sunnah
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29
			blah blah blah blah. Details.
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:50
			There's a consensus
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:54
			that the daughter of someone's son gets a
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:55
			6th
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:58
			if the deceased daughter is still there without
		
00:11:58 --> 00:11:59
			the asab,
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:05
			So they're gonna say,
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:07
			you feed
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:08
			you feed.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			There's ijma on this, so that means,
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:17
			according to Osuli, this evidence means obligatory.
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			The Faqid is gonna say as it explained
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:22
			here,
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:40
			Right. So rice and bhur, there's kliya that
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:41
			they are what?
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:46
			So
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:47
			that rice
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:49
			and burr are the same.
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:58
			You feed
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:02
			according to the one who's making whatever he
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:02
			concludes.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:03
			Permissibility,
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:05
			not permissibility, whatever.
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:06
			But the
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:08
			is going to go into detail on the
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:09
			issue.
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:32
			So it's like these are specific evidences that
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:32
			he gave.
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:35
			Right? The actual specifics of the evidence, you're
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:37
			not gonna find in Usur Ufil. The sources
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:39
			of the evidence, you're gonna find in the
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:40
			books of Usur Ufil.
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43
			So he's modeling these deep discussions in the
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:44
			hamash here
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:45
			are firk.
