Analogy with 'Ara'iyah and the Riba Categories

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is anything else among the fruits analogous to 'Ara'iyah? And if the answer is that it is not analogous, why do we analogize to the riba categories and not to 'Ara'iyah?

Answer:
This is a rukhsah (dispensation); this falls under the category of rukhsah. No rukhsah was reported regarding the riba categories. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade them and did not exclude anything from them. Rukhsahs are distinct from 'azimah (the default ruling). The prohibition of riba falls under the category of 'azimah, whereas 'Ara'iyah falls under the category of rukhsah. A rukhsah is an exception to the 'azimah. Yes.
