Restricting a general ruling to a specific time

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: If the Shari'ah commands something in general terms, and then it is restricted to a specific time so that a person does not forget it, is the action valid?

Answer:
It is not restricted except by evidence. A verse and a hadith are not restricted except by evidence, by a verse or a hadith. You do not restrict them if they are not restricted. Yes.
