What is the codification of fiqh?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is meant by what we hear about the codification of fiqh, and is it in the interest of Islam and Muslims?
Answer:
This has no basis, and, if Allah wills, our state is a Muslim state and does not accept these ideas and suggestions. These are ideas and suggestions, and the Muslims are against them, if Allah wills, and they will not be carried out except by the power of Allah. Yes, this was attempted before. This is the first time it has happened; an attempt was made before, and the scholars stood against it, so it was buried, praise be to Allah. Now they have tried again, and it will be buried, by the permission of Allah. Yes.
