Yasir Qadhi – Ask Shaykh YQ – Episode 29 – The Difference Between Fard & Wājib

			I'm confused between the difference of Fatah and wajib. And also pseudonym waka and so now they're
makeda. Can you please explain these terms to me on
		

			in
		

			ee?
		

			So this question deals with a science that all of us should be aware of all of us should know this
broad science It is called solar. And the solar field is the science of how we derive how we extract
laws. What are the sources of Islamic law? What are the terminologies? What are the language
rhetorics and devices that we use? And how do we reconcile between conflict or potential conflict
between the sources itself? Most of the misunderstandings that occur about filk occur because people
don't know the chapter of solid fit. One of my teachers used to tell us to complain all the time
that one of the biggest disasters, he said, is that the majority of Muslims don't even know there's
		

			a science called the Sudan. So they open up the Quran and Hadith and without any knowledge of how to
derive, they just think they can extract the laws directly. No, there's a science of how you extract
the laws. And the science of assorted fit varies from school of law to School of Law. As we're all
aware, there are four famous schools of law but there are many more besides these but four that are
codified and have an acceptance amongst the oma and also Delphic varies between these four and it is
one of the main causes why there are differences of opinion between these four. So for example, the
school of Imam Malik of Medina, they took one of the sources of Islamic law to be the practices of
		

			the people of Medina for example, right. So if the people of Medina were doing something Mr. Malik
said, this means that their fathers did it and their grandfathers did it. And the Prophet system was
alive when their grandfathers did it. So this means it becomes a source of law. So for Imam Malik,
he had a principle that is called the AMA Khalid Medina, the customs of the people of Medina become
a source of law for him, they become a part of the Maliki mud hub. And the other three schools said
no, the people of Medina are no more special in the third generation than the PF Bala basura and
Kufa. And so we're not going to take this as a source of law, it is well known a memorable hanifa he
		

			concentrated on chaos or analogy more than the other three schools. So this led to differences in
law. So the point being, the brother asked a question, what is the difference between Florida and
Georgia? I wanted to begin by saying this is chapter one of a solid. If you open up any classical
bookable sort of film, the first or the second chapter, it is called gamma takhli fear or the
rulings that Allah has placed upon the macula, who is the mocha left, the mocha left is the one who
is obliged to follow the laws of the Sharia. So an adult sane, male, female, an adult
		

			that is able to think rationally so a child is not macula somebody who's not rational, you know,
they're they don't have the intellect, they're, you know, mentally challenged, they're not mocha
left. So the mocha Love is the one who is obliged by the shediac to follow Islamic law. And there
are rulings on the mocha love all over the Shetty, I can be categorized into these rulings. Now. We
begin by stating, as we said, ossola varies from school to school. So the Hanafi school has a
different categorization than the other three schools and this is something that is general
knowledge. I'm not going to go advanced today but it is something you should be aware of even as
		

			Muslims that are not specialized in physical solar field. This is general awareness. The Hanafi
school has seven primary categories. And the Maliki shaft theory and humberview School has five
primary categories. Okay, this is something that we should all be aware of. Let's begin with the
five so that we get a basis then the seven we extrapolate, so the Maliki the Shafi and the hanbali
generally speaking, they have five with some minor differences, but they all have these five and the
highest category. So two categories deal with doing something to category deals with don't doing
something and one category deals with choice between doing or not doing okay, two categories doing
		

			of the doing you have the highest level you must do it and this is according to the three methods
non Hana fees, you call it followed or wajib they are synonymous for the three main types, the three
main hubs followed or wajib or hatom or rochen or lasme. All of this is the same for them and it is
something that you are obliged.
		

			Due to the technical definition, what the macula is obliged to do and what he is sinful for not
doing this is the logic or the fourth standard example is the five Salawat This is followed or
wajib. The second level of doing is Sunnah or Mr. hab and that is what you are rewarded to do and
you are not sinful to not do. Okay, so the to look after the hood is sooner the to look after Muslim
is sooner the to look after Asia is sooner. Okay, so this is sooner, then you have the two that
you're not supposed to do. So the harshest is how long as you know, and how long is that which is
sinful to do. If you do it, you are sinful. Unless there's a Buddha obviously, there's always
		

			exceptions. So for example,
		

			eating pig pork is sinful it is how long and then you have the one above that category, which is my
crew. And the majority of the metals don't have a differentiation they just say my crew and my crew
means if you do it, you do not get sin. But if you don't do it, and you had the opportunity to if
you don't do it, you will get rewarded by Allah subhana wa Tada. It's better not to do but in case
you did it, then Allah will not punish you for doing it. So the and then of course you have the
middle category, which is MOBA. Neither sinful nor is it rewarding. It is all permissible and I'll
give you an example of all five when it comes to the dress code for example. So it is wajib for the
		

			male to cover his hour. This is why it is sooner to go beyond the hour. Not watch it as soon as it
is Mr. hub you are rewarded. It is wajib to cover navel to me. Now should a man be walking around in
public only navel Tony. It's not befitting it is soon it is Mr. hub, it is rewarding that he covers
more than just the bare minimum hour. Okay, it is MOBA to wear Shalwar Kameez or thobe, or pants
shirt, all of it is exactly the same. And I have mentioned this in other categories and classes,
there's no such thing as Libous as soon as it will claim and others say all of it is mobile, as long
as the outer is covered. And it is according to the recording security. It is all mobile. It is
		

			makrooh. To wear clothes that are calling attention to oneself gaudy, ostentatious clothes, this is
mcru you're wearing something that is a typical, and people will be looking at you as if it's a type
of flaunting, right this is my crew. And it is haram for a man to wear silk for example, right? So
these are five simple categories that I have given you. Now, one of the problems of this
categorization that we need to explain to our youth The problem is not in the categorization it is
we don't explain it is that these are broad spectrums, not all logic is the same. And not all heroin
is the same. And unfortunately, we fail to communicate this to our next generation. So the term how
		

			ROM for many of them ceases to have its meaning. When we put a large category of things in this box
without explaining how ROM is a spectrum. It begins with a very small Senate is still how long and
it goes all the way to shirk, which is the worst of all, how long when we tell our children, for
example, that murder is how long then we say music is how long, for example, right? For those who
say it is how long we'll have another long to lecture about music one day inshallah. But for those
who say it is how long our children are, like murder music, same category, how is that possible, and
it's not the same category. And it's failure in our part to communicate to our children, how long is
		

			a vast spectrum, you cannot just fail to communicate this that there is something called sohar.
There's something called cabal, there's something called a cabal cabal, there's something called the
seven deadly sins, there's a huge spectrum. But for the sake of the shitty or the technical, you
just say how long now, it is as if the henna fees understood this. And they said you can't just put
all of them in the same, you can put all wajib in the same. So the HANA fees divided the wajib and
the harem, each of them into two sub categories, thus making it seven. Okay, so from five, they have
seven, because they wanted to convey that not all logic is exactly the same, not all how DOM is
		

			exactly the same. And so they actually have in some ways a more logical than rational
categorization. I say this as a humbly but in many ways, this categorization actually helps us to
understand the goals of the city. So the Hanafi said that let's look at what Allah has commanded us
and realize that not all are at the same level. Some are very
		

			Very, very strongly binding on us, right? Let's call that fault and some are binding but not to that
level. Let's call that wajib. So for the henna fees followed and wajib are not synonymous for the
other three months for then wajib are synonymous. They're the same thing. If Shafi says follow the
NFL free says watch him He means the same thing. But if I had if he says follow the verses hanafy
says watch him, they mean separate things. Now, what is the distinction between Fatah and wajib?
Actually, for the henna fees here you might benefit a little bit Actually, there is a controversy
within the classical scholars of the method, even though the default and the beginning position
		

			which is taught at the beginners level is that followed is that which is a a Delilah and wajib it
doesn't have the same level of fidelity or in other words, followed is very explicit in the Quran
and Sunnah and to deny it might even be referred or something, whereas wajib is not as explicit in
the Quran and Sunnah. This is the majority definition, especially the later Hanafi scholars holdest.
So for example, they will say, the five side a lot of fold, because Allah says so, and there's what
allotted Heidi, as for Witter, they say the Quran is not explicit about Witter.
		

			And the sooner doesn't have the same number of a hadith about winter. So it's not as binding, but it
is still binding. So they put it in wajib. So they say witr, Salah is wajib and the five day Salawat
are followed. However, for the advanced hanafy, they should know that this is one opinion. And
others such as a just sauce has a much more, in my opinion, any better. But again, I'm not 100 view.
So it's up to you to decide which one you want to follow. It'll just sauce for example, he says that
the photo is an essential part of it's such that if you don't do it, then essentially you cannot
make up. But a wajib is not as essential. And if you don't do a YG for example, you can make it up
		

			so he has a different way of putting it but both definitions or I should say three or four because
the NF have other definitions, but there is a spectrum of opinion but in the end of the day, follow
this higher than watch it however you define it father is higher than wajib. So this is in the
fourth category in the opposite category, what the other men have say how wrong the 100 is
understood, you can't just see everything hold on because that gives the wrong impression. Some
things are not anywhere near as strong as other things. So they divided it and they said that there
is something that is called the
		

			qatal Hutton z and Kara had me okay. And so they had hat on then karahan z then kurata sorry, how
long Karakuri Cora karapatan z and then they have mobile. So they have three categorizations under
that mobile rather than two and the difference between mcru 10 z and macro to hurry me. So what the
majority said mcru the Hanafi said mcru 10 z they called it mcru 10 z then they have a category
between mcru and how long from the other categories from the from the three modems? Are you guys
following Am I going too fast? For the three month hubs? You have MOBA mcru. How long? Okay, for the
HANA fees. MOBA macro becomes macro 10 Z, then there's a new category, then there's a harem and the
		

			new category is called macro to help me now, what is the difference between the heady meet Makoto
Tommy and how long again goes back to you know, technical difficulties but but technical definitions
but the essence is understood by all mcru.
		

			to hurry me the sin is not as big as how long Okay, so simple example. According to and by the way,
I've spoken to a lot of handpiece about this, there's seems to be some modern opinion, but the
classical madhhab did not allow people to eat shrimp, okay. And I've spoken to some major major Hana
fees, and they're wanting to rethink through this shrimpy position right? This is not small fish
anymore. We have to go very, very deep fried about decision anyway. Okay, enough for the so our
hanafy expert here says he too follows the jumbo position that allows shrimp but the classical
hanafy position says that you should not eat shrimp. Okay, now, are you going to equate shrimp with
		

			pork? Obviously the 100 thieves did not do that. So eating pork is what category how wrong according
to the classical majority hunter who position eating shrimp is cut aha
		

			to hurry me, according to the majority, but there is a new movement that saying Corolla Tansy he I
think they like the shrimp too much. Right? So they're like, upgrading the shrimp gets a free
upgrade. It's mobile Mashallah he's given double upgrade Mashallah. It's about a COLA and for the
majority of it
		

			By the way, we'll talk about seafood one day lecture about that. So they don't even think shrimp is
any way problem problematic anyway, the point being that you understand the HANA fees seven
categorizations and in fact it makes actually more sense and a Lost Planet Allah knows best as for
the issue of sooner, more akkada and sooner there makeda once again, this is something that all of
the various methods have different terminologies for. And so, the concept is found in all the
methods but the terminology is different. And so for example, the INF have a whole advanced
categorization for the other mud hubs, Sundaram Wakata can also be called Nuffield for example,
		

			right. So, all of these are terminologies that depends on the method of the scholar who uses them.
So, no more akkada would be the sooner that is strongly encouraged that the Prophet system would
habitually do and the best example is the 10 or 12 Raka that we pray after fudger sorry before
fudger after before and after her after mockery after issue, this is so no more Qaeda, okay. So,
now, there makeda for the ohana would be for example, so that the dish rock for example, right the
foraker before acid for example, and the forecast before Asia for example, right and the other tabs
will say this is nothing. So, the point is this is not something that would regularly be done,
		

			whereas the other 12 would be regularly done. So there is no karahi sorry, there is no sin, I should
say because this other is it mcru to leave asuna there's another also the Estella, but there's no
sin in the eyes of Allah if you leave a Sunnah, but there is a sin if you leave a wajib or a photo.
So this is the answer to this question, and I hope that inshallah It is clear that these
categorizations differ from method to method
