How is the superiority of deeds determined?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
How can we determine the superiority of deeds? Is it based on the benefit that extends to others? Or is it based on the hardship and effort that is inherent in the deed, rather than being forced?
Answer:
The superiority of deeds is known by evidence, my brother. It is not known by independent legal reasoning or by investigation, but only by evidence. So, if the evidence indicates the superiority of a deed, we follow it. And if no evidence indicates it, we do not say that this is better. Yes.
