00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			Ideas around the subject of o sol lofirk.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			What is the difference between firk and o
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			sol lofirk?
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28
			Is that firk is meant to teach us
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			the type of ruling.
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			Is it Haram?
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			Is it obligation?
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			Is it disliked?
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:40
			Usul Il Filk teaches us the kinds of
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:40
			rulings,
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			the processes of the rulings,
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			how we understand the ingredients
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			of the ruling. So I like to say
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			that is the is the match
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:50
			and
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			is the referee.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			Is the graphics.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			Is the graphics card.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			In the book that we're gonna use is
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			a book, you can
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			see there's notes in here from years ago.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			This is over 10 years ago.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			Subhan Allah with one of our teachers is
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12
			a book called
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			means a few pieces of paper.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			It's called Jam Okillah.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:19
			Of the
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			5th century imam
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			and scholar imam,
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:24
			aljuwayni,
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			Rahim
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			Known as Imam Al Haramain.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			Sheikh Al Islam. And
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			Sayidna Imam Al Haramain, he dies around, like,
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:36
			472.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			And he was the sheikh of Imam al
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:39
			Ghazali.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			And Imam al Haramain,
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			he was known as al Imam al Haramain
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			because for a period in his life, he
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			traveled between the 2 harams,
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			Haram Meqi and Haram Madani. He would teach
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:51
			the people.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			He would teach to people. Masha'Allah.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			Masha'Allah.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			So let's start this journey
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			in this important subject.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			It's gonna help you a lot because
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:07
			helps us to quell the immature differences sometimes
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			that exist amongst the community, praying 8 raka'at,
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			praying 20 raka'at,
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:15
			allow us to limit the scope of takfir.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			You know, we find people declaring other people
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:17
			as kufar,
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			like, so easily. What what are some of
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			the limitations we take even from?
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			They're going to help you also interpret fatwa
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			to make sure when you're reading a fatwa
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:29
			that it's it's it's been properly sourced, properly
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			written,
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:31
			improperly,
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			constructed.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			And most importantly, it's
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:37
			gonna increase your respect and love for the
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			great efforts of the ulema.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			And and and, really, the,
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			the
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			that they engaged in when they they taught
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			this important subject, Alhamdulillah.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			So, inshallah, we're going to start. The Sheikh,
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			he says,
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			after Bismillah
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			course, this is like humility and also it's
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			meant to ease the concerns and fears of
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			the student. Right.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			And, also, it's it's meant to say, like,
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			you know, this is an introductory text.
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:36
			What's called
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			like in the Quran.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:45
			Because Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he doesn't want
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			the people to be scared when fasting starts.
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:48
			Like, oh my gosh fasting,
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			just a few days, man.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			Don't worry about it. So
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			You know, these are just like a a
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			few pieces of paper
		
00:03:59 --> 00:03:59
			that address
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			the knowledge of. He says,
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:08
			another another text says,
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:11
			which
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:12
			contain
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			some some
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:15
			discussions,
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			you know, fossil is what divides something. Right?
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:22
			Divider but here means, you know, like issues
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26
			certain issues related to the subject of
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			related to the science of
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:36
			and
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			now what he's going to do
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			is he's going to
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:42
			define
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			and, traditionally, there were two ways to do
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:46
			this.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:49
			One was to define it by addressing each
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			word in the compound word structure.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			This was a way of the early ulama.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:57
			But later on, as became
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			a science and a practice,
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			right, the legal
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			philosophy of Islam,
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			it took on its own,
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:08
			if you will, scholastic or scientific definition.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			So So the first is called Tarif Ibbafi.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			The second is called Tarif Lakabi.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18
			So, you know, nobody says now, like, surf,
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			board, and they break down like surf and
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			board. Well, we understand both words to be
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			the under and stand. What does under mean?
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			What does stand mean? Now we know what
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			the word means.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:27
			Microbiology,
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			micro and we understand what the word means.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			Corporate law
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			so something very similar.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			So since the sheikh is from one of
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39
			the earlier earlier giants in Osolofilk,
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:43
			he observes the the what's called Tarif Ildafi.
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			He says,
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			Said the word
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:56
			You Allah.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			I'm gonna make my job is to make
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			this as simple as possible in this in
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:00
			this
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			portion of our journey. What it means is
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:04
			that it's a compound word
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:08
			and we're going to identify each mufrad,
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			each word. Mufrad means the work can stand
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:13
			on its own. It has its own meaning.
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:14
			So Asul,
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17
			Usul, Firk. Both of these words have their
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:17
			own meaning.
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			So we're gonna do this now by defining
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:23
			each word, a tarif, lakabi, idafi that I
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			talked about
