Discussion of the depravity of the Jews and their deception in making lawful what Allah has forbidden them.

The Shaykh : ... This is what the Jews did, but we did not take it as a lesson; because we do not read the Book and the Sunnah for the sake of taking lessons and understanding; because the door of independent legal reasoning has been closed. I want my words to be like the action of the Jews, referring to a hadith that is closely related to what we are currently discussing regarding ... He said - (peace and blessings be upon him) - as in "Sahih Muslim": .
...
Meaning: They melted them in the fire. .
The point is at the word "jamaluhā" (they melted them). Allah forbade the Jews, as He said - (Mighty and Majestic) - : , good things that were lawful and permissible for them, so Allah - (Mighty and Majestic) - forbade them to them because of their wrongdoing. From this prohibition of some of the good things were the fats, so they would slaughter the fine, fat animal and they would be ordered to eat only the red meat ...
Allah forbade ... so they made the sale of it and eating its price lawful. What is the difference between this fat when it is cut from its source and when it is placed in the pots and melted in the fire? The reality is one, except that the form, what is it? It changed. Is there such formalism in Islam? Islam fights it. The answer is in this very hadith; the Messenger of Allah says: ; why? For reasons that are naturally known, some of which are in the Qur'an, such as their deception regarding hunting on the Sabbath, which is forbidden. But this reason is not known by many: Allah cursed the Jews, the fats were forbidden to them, and they deceived regarding them by making them lawful by simply melting them, and the fat remains chemically fat with all its what? Its properties. So Satan played with the Jews and made it attractive to them that since the form changed, the ruling changes. This is not of Islam at all, absolutely.
