Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Before I ask for the evidence, I would like to ask about an important principle in this chapter that we mentioned yesterday.
The questioner : What is built upon a Sharia foundation must have Sharia evidence.
The Shaykh : It is built upon a Sharia foundation; how can you say it must have Sharia evidence? The principle is that what is built upon a Sharia foundation is not invalidated except by Sharia evidence. So, based on this principle, whenever someone claims that something breaks the fast, we say to him: bring the evidence, otherwise your claim is rejected. Whenever someone says that something invalidates the ablution in the chapter of purity, we say: bring the evidence, otherwise your claim is rejected. Whenever someone says that something invalidates the prayer, we say: bring the evidence, otherwise your claim is rejected. Whenever someone says that this sale is defective, we say: bring the evidence, otherwise your claim is rejected. Likewise, whenever someone says that this condition in the contract is defective, we say: bring the evidence, otherwise your claim is rejected. This principle is useful for the student of knowledge in all chapters of Islamic jurisprudence.
