The questioner: May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner asks: What is the meaning of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan Ibn Majah 2521Sahih (Darussalam) invalid, invalid?
The Shaykh:
Even if there are a hundred conditions, any condition for which there is no evidence permitting it from the Book of Allah or the Sunnah of His Messenger is an invalid condition.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said this in the context of one of the female Companions buying Barira. She bought Barira on the condition that she would free her and that the loyalty (wala') would belong to her. Those who sold her, the ones who sold Barira, stipulated that the loyalty would belong to them. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 2521Sahih (Darussalam). The covenant of Allah is stronger, and the ruling of Allah is more just, Sahih al-Bukhari 2729. Yes.
