Is the rule that anything that contradicts a Shari'ah command is considered invalid and insufficient correct?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Can you repeat what you said so that the error becomes clear to you?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : Can you?

The questioner : If Allah wills.

The Shaykh: Go ahead.

The questioner : You said that a condition is established by an explicit text.

The Shaykh : Here, I said, in your case... and by what is the obligatory established?

The questioner : By an explicit text stating that it is a condition.

The Shaykh : Answer, may Allah guide you.

The questioner : The obligatory is established by a command, for example.

The Shaykh : By an explicit text, or without an explicit text? May Allah guide you?

The questioner : It is established by an explicit text.

The Shaykh : So what do you say, my brother? Do not use a muddled phrase that includes things other than what you intend. You want to argue for it using an explicit text. A shared attribute does not fit in a definition. A definition must be comprehensive and exclusive. It is established by an explicit text. So this is the first condition. Good. And the second condition?

The questioner : The negation of the validity of the act without it.

The Shaykh : Good. And the third? Is there something else?

The questioner : Ijma'.

The Shaykh : Consensus. Good. And by what is the obligatory established?

The questioner : It is established by a command for it. But our Shaykh, please allow me to clarify the meaning of what is intended by "explicit text."

The Shaykh : No, do not clarify it for me. The research now, may Allah bless you, is not about correcting what you want or intend, but about correcting what you utter.
