Exegesis of His saying, the Exalted: (Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship)
So His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He): [al-Baqarah:185] This serves as the reason for His saying: [al-Baqarah:185] meaning: He granted you a dispensation to break your fast while traveling and while ill; for He, the Exalted, intends ease for His servants and does not intend hardship for them. For this reason, the Islamic Shari'ah came with complete ease, and praise be to Allah, until the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, in what is authentic from him: (Indeed, religion is ease) This is an exclusive statement meaning that the entire religion is ease and contains no hardship. If you reflect on the commands of the Shari'ah, you will find them all easy and simple.
Then, if there is hardship for a person in any of them, it falls into two categories: either it is dropped due to the hardship, or one transitions to a substitute. In the case of wudu', if using water becomes difficult, one performs tayammum. If one does not find what to perform tayammum with, the wudu' and tayammum are dropped from him. This is an example of something that is dropped to a substitute and to something without a substitute. This is facilitation, and praise be to Allah; the entire religion is ease.
Therefore, it is obligatory for the student of knowledge to look at this perspective more than he looks at the perspective of making things difficult for creation;For their Lord who created them is the One who said: [al-Baqarah:185] Many people today are found dealing with people in a way that is more difficult and harder. If the Shari'ah brought this, there is no harm, and it is not hard except in the perception of some people. But if the Shari'ah did not bring it, he has no proof with Allah on the Day of Resurrection if He says to him, "Why did you make things difficult for My servants? I made them easy for them?" For this reason, we must look at this with careful scrutiny, and not oblige people with what Allah has not obligated them with, and not forbid them what Allah has not forbidden them, even if we are supposed to be an example for them and they obey us. In reality, we are between them and Allah, and Allah the Exalted will question us.
So His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He):
Allah intends for you ease
يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ بِكُمُ الْيُسْرَand whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days
وَمَنْ كَانَ مَرِيضاً أَوْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرThen, if there is hardship for a person in any of them, it falls into two categories: either it is dropped due to the hardship, or one transitions to a substitute. In the case of wudu', if using water becomes difficult, one performs tayammum. If one does not find what to perform tayammum with, the wudu' and tayammum are dropped from him. This is an example of something that is dropped to a substitute and to something without a substitute. This is facilitation, and praise be to Allah; the entire religion is ease.
Therefore, it is obligatory for the student of knowledge to look at this perspective more than he looks at the perspective of making things difficult for creation;For their Lord who created them is the One who said:
