The Difference Between Juridical Ijtihad and Sin
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
So, the Shaykh says: What is the position of the non-religious regarding family matters, especially since we are dealing with them? Yes. There is no organized body of neutral observers, especially since we are facing this fatwa in our time, which is a kind of distress over the matters of juridical ijtihad and their dissemination to the general public through the media.
Answer:
The sinner and the one who opposes [the truth], this is not ijtihad; this is not ijtihad. This is sin. Ijtihad is only in juridical matters among scholars. As for the sinners and those who oppose the commands of Allah and His Messenger, it is not said that these are matters of ijtihad; they are called sins. Therefore, they must be treated, and enjoining good and forbidding evil is necessary. The sinners must not be left to practice their sins in society, otherwise we will be like those about whom Allah said:[Al-Ma'idah 5:79]. Yes.
