The ruling on violating the system for a benefit seen by the reformer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: If the father is completely alive in a certain case, and in his view the reformer is the one in it, does that affect him?
The Shaykh:
If.
The questioner:
If he violates the system, or acts contrary to the system in a case where he sees what is best in it, does he sin?
The Shaykh:
The benefit lies in adhering to the system; the benefit is in adhering to the system, not in violating it. If a matter is unclear to you, refer to your reference. You have references; refer to your superiors and refer to your references in this matter. Do not say, “This is a benefit, and I will do it without consulting your superiors.” Yes.
