Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is this principle valid, leaving out specific details? In a situation of possibility, it takes the place of generality in speech. What is the ruling on one who rejects it?
Answer:
My brother, this is a matter of the principles of jurisprudence, and many of the imams held to it. As for the fact that some opposed it, this does not harm; those who opposed it are not harmed by it, but it is a well-known principle among the scholars.
