Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is this principle a legal principle, namely, "Wherever there is public benefit, there is the Shari'ah"?
Answer:
This is the meaning of the words of Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him): if you find public benefit, there is the Shari'ah of Allah. This is what I know to be from the words of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
