Applying the term mukallaf to the servant
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it correct to say of the servant, or to describe the servant, that he is a mukallaf?
Answer:
Yes, the servant is a mukallaf in the sense that he is commanded and prohibited. The opposite of the servant being a mukallaf is being a minor or lacking intellect. Therefore, a minor is not a mukallaf, and likewise an adult who does not have intellect is not a mukallaf, because he is unable to bear the obligations and duties, and to refrain from things; he has no thought and no knowledge. Yes, being a mukallaf follows intellect. Yes.
