The Ruling on Taking from the Books of Usul al-Fiqh the Rules of the Logicians
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. How do we reconcile the statements of the early people of the Sunnah regarding the prohibition of studying logic and philosophy, with those who explicitly state the necessity of studying usul al-fiqh, given that many books of usul al-fiqh contain a great deal of the rules of the logicians and theologians?
Answer:
We take what is in them of truth, the books of usul, and we take what is in them of truth, and we leave what is in them of error. Or, its meaning is that because the terminology of the people of logic has entered them, we leave them and understand from what is in them of truth. We study them and distinguish what is in them of truth, so we accept it, and what is in them of falsehood, so we reject it.
