00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem, Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen,
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:06
			Wa Salaam Ala Sayyidina Muhammad Khatam Al-Anbiyai
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:09
			Wa Al-Mursaleen, As-Salaam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			Wa Barakatuh We reach now the section Ta
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:17
			'rif Al-Ijtihad I say Ijtihad, actually the
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
			word Jeem, the letter Jeem, Gaa, it's called
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			Jeem Al-Qahiriyah, it's found in Fusha So
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			don't come after me, it's from one of
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27
			the ancient tribes, you say Gaa, okay, so
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			give me a break Ta'rif Al-Ijtihad,
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			Qala Raheemakullahi Naf'ana Allahu Ta'ala Bihi
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:38
			Ilmihi Fidareeni Ameen Wa Amma Al-Ijtihadu, it
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:42
			says as regarding Ijtihad, Fahuwa, it is Badlu
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:46
			Al-Wasa, means to exert all one's capacity
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			Fi Buluq Al-Gharad, to reach the goal,
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:55
			here the goal means the Hukam, so we
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			can apply Ijtihad to everything But here he's
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:10
			talking about the ruling So
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:15
			if a scholar has reached all those qualifications
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:18
			necessary, the tools needed for Ijtihad and makes
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:21
			Ijtihad on a ruling in a secondary issue,
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:28
			not in the Usul, right Fa Asaba Falahu
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:32
			Ajran, the knee receives, she receives two blessings,
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:36
			two rewards Wa Nishtahada Wa Akhtaha Falahu Ajrun
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			Wahidun And if they make Ijtihad and they
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			make a mistake, then there is one reward
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			for them We see how Islam is encouraging
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:47
			the engagement of its intellectual raw materials for
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:51
			us Now engaging its intellectual tradition and ensuring
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			that it is alive So it's not censoring
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			mistake if someone's qualified, it's censoring someone who's
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			not qualified That's what they say, someone like
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			the Hanafi say, someone who makes Ijtihad is
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			not qualified Even if they get it right,
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			they're a sinner There has to be some
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:17
			compliancy here, right Based
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			on the hadith of the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:24
			Wasallam Wa Minhum Al-'Ulama Ma Qara Kullu Mujtahidin
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			Furo'i Musibun There are some scholars that
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:30
			said no, no, no Both scholars actually are
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			correct in their Ijtihad There can be more
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35
			than one truth in the Furo' It's the
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			opinion of the Zaydis, right, the Zaydi Madhhab
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			That's why SubhanAllah, it's easy to get along
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			with them MashAllah And their books are beautiful
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:44
			MashAllah Alayhim So what he's getting at is
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			that there is this opinion of what's called
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:50
			Musawwaba or Musawwiba Those scholars who say any
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			Ijtihad done by a qualified person actually is
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:56
			not wrong It's acceptable Others say no, no,
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			no, one is right, one is wrong That's
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			the opinion of the majority of Ahlul Sunnah
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:07
			It's not allowed to make Ijtihad in issues
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			related to Kalam, a Aqidah But here we
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			need to make a point, no, some issues
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			have to have Ijtihad in Aqidah Those secondary
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:19
			issues But the primary issues, of course So
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			for example, how Tawheed is taught Sadaat Asha
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:25
			'ira, teach it differently than Sadaat Maturidiyya They
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			differ on a few issues here and there
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			With Al-Athariyya, Al-Hanabilah The methods of
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			teaching Tawheed that people are arguing over, that's
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:35
			from Ijtihad Sayyidina Imam Al-Razi added 13
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			qualities to the 20 qualities that we know
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			in the Ash'ari Madhhab As mentioned by
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			Sayyidina Imam Siruti In Kuwaak Al-Basath And
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:45
			I heard from Sheikh Dindu These methods of
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:51
			teaching, don't fall under Usul So brothers, sisters,
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:54
			stop dividing people over things like this But
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			what he's getting at here are the Usul
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:15
			I'll agree on this But
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			what he's getting at here is that So
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			if we say that everyone is right in
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			their Ijtihad Then we have to say everyone
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			is right when it comes to Ijtihad and
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:28
			issues of Aqidah And that's impossible Only in
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:31
			the foundational issues But in secondary issues, scholars
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:54
			are going to differ That's known He
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			would have to be careful what Imam Al
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			-Haramayn is talking about What he means is
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			in the Usul, not in the Furwa So
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:03
			if we say that every Mujtahid is Musib
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			Then some issues need to be unpacked Because
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			first of all, no one's going to make
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			Ijtihad in the Usul of Aqidah Except those
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			Kuffar That's why we don't agree with them
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			But in the Da'ira of Ahlul-Islam
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:16
			Whoever says La ilaha illallah Muhammadur Rasulullah is
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:19
			Muslim As mentioned in the Hadith of Sahih
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:27
			al-Bukhari But those issues of fundamental belief
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			Of course, there's no Ijtihad We're not going
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31
			to say that there's Tasweeb in this So
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			it's a little bit needs to be unpacked
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			The evidence for those to say It's impossible
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			to say that every Mujtahid in the issues
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:50
			of Furwa is correct In Fiqh Is the
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			Hadith of the Prophet that we've alluded to
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:56
			a few times here That the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:05:56 --> 00:06:02
			said Whoever makes Ijtihad And it's correct They
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			have two rewards It's a mistake and it's
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			one reward The argument of the Zaidis They're
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:10
			still rewarded They're still rewarded And even those
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:13
			within Ahlul-Sunnah who disagree with this Who
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:17
			say, yeah, every Mujtahid is Musib Also the
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:27
			statement of the Prophet Similar statement
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			as said earlier You know, gets it right,
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			two rewards Gets it wrong, gets one reward
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40
			Say the argument of the majority as well
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:41
			The Prophet ﷺ said one is right One
		
00:06:41 --> 00:07:04
			is wrong I ask Allah to accept You
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			know, I'm a little bit overcome now Because
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:07
			it's like if you look back It's been
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			years, right?
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:12
			Explaining this to COVID, not COVID Moving here
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:16
			and there Illness, sickness Success, failure So may
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			Allah ﷻ accept it from me I ask
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:22
			Allah to forgive me for my shortcomings Ask
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			that you make dua for me That if
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			you did this whole course If I'm gone
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:29
			by the time you see this You pray
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:30
			for me Ask Allah to put light in
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			my grave Ask Allah to accept this for
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:33
			me And to make it a means of
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			my forgiveness And I ask Allah to bless
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:36
			you And make it a benefit for the
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:37
			students of knowledge
