Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I heard from one of the professors that most of the evidence of the Shari'ah is speculative, is this correct? Because I have not been reassured by this statement.
Answer:
It is speculative in his view, but in its reality it is definitive. However, it is speculative in the view of some people who did not understand it and did not grasp it, so he is reporting about himself, and the intention is his, but in the actual matter it is definitive.
