An example of abrogating the light by the heavy and the gradualness in legislation

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, have you given us an example of abrogating the light in the precise? Abrogating the light by the heavy.

Answer:
There is gradualness in the legislation. The gradualness in legislation is like what some exegetes mentioned: that fasting was first made obligatory as fasting on a few days, three days of every month. So when they became accustomed to fasting, Allah transferred them to fasting the month of Ramadan. This is in His saying, the Exalted: They said it is three days of every month. So when they became accustomed to fasting and familiar with it, He, the Exalted, said: So He transferred them from fasting the few days to fasting Ramadan. This is from the gradualness from the easier to the easier. Yes, and that is out of His mercy for the servants so that fasting the month would not be difficult for them from the first time, until they become familiar with it and accustomed to it. Yes.
