Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Imam al-Shatibi (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned in his book al-Muwafaqat that the scholars differed on whether, when obtaining a permissible matter is accompanied by forbidden matters, one should permit obtaining this permissible matter or prevent it. Al-Shatibi did not prefer one position over the other. So what is your opinion on this issue?
Answer:
If the public benefit is stronger, one seeks this thing. If the harm is stronger, no. If they are equal, no as well.
