Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: The hadith of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): “What I have forbidden you, avoid it, and what I have taught you, bring forth from it what you can.” Eat. That it be (peace and blessings be upon him).
Answer:
The commands that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded include those that are obligatory, which is the default, and those that are recommended. As for what is in the category of obligation, a person does what he is able to do. If he is unable to do something, it is not lost. For example, if he prays but cannot stand, standing is dropped from him and he prays sitting, because he cannot do what he can of it. If he cannot prostrate on the ground, prostration is a pillar, but if he cannot, he indicates with his head and prostration on the ground is dropped from him, and he is compensated by the prostration of faith and lowering the head, which is what he is able to do.
As for the issue of the sunnahs, the sunnah is one thing. If he does them, he has a reward, and if he leaves them, even if he is able, if he does them he has a reward, and if he leaves them, no blame is on him, even if he is able. But if he leaves them while he loves them and wants them, but an excuse prevents him from them, he earns a reward for not doing them, because of the good intention. As for the one who leaves them while he is going out and cutting off [the connection], this is not indicated by it. Yes.
