The discussion of circumventing the Shari'ah of Allah in the hadith: (Allah cursed the Jews; when the fats were forbidden for them to eat, they rendered them and sold them)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : ...in its form. This is what the Jews did, but we did not take a lesson from it; because we do not read the Book and the Sunnah for the sake of taking a lesson and understanding; because the door of ijtihad (independent legal reasoning) has been closed.
I want my word to be a mention of the Jews' action, pointing to a hadith that has a strong connection to what we are currently discussing regarding ... He (peace and blessings be upon him) said, as in "Sahih Muslim":.
The point is at the word "rendered them." Allah forbade the Jews, as He (Mighty and Majestic) said:[An-Nisa 4:160], good things that were lawful and permissible for them. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) forbade them because of their wrongdoing, from this prohibition of some of the good things, the fats. So they would slaughter the fine, fat sacrificial animal ... and eat only the red meat ... Allah forbade ... so they deemed it permissible to sell it and eat its price; what is the difference between this fat when it is cut from its source and when it is placed in the pots and melted by fire? The reality is one, but the form, what is it? It changed. Does Islam have such formalities, or does Islam fight them?
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 circumvention of hunting on the forbidden Saturday, but this reason is not known by many. Sahih Muslim 1582a So they circumvented it by deeming it permissible by melting it, and the fat remains what it was found to be, fat, with all its what? Its characteristics. So Satan played with the Jews and made it attractive to them that as long as the form changed, the ruling changed. This is not of Islam in any way whatsoever.
And we have many examples, among them what I mentioned recently that some Muslims circumvent unlawful marriage by naming it a marriage to make permissible what Allah has forbidden. Allah forbade the man who divorced his wife three times to marry her again except after she marries another husband. So what did they do? They brought a borrowed goat, which the Messenger named as such, and they said to him: Our purpose is for this woman to marry and then be divorced so that she becomes lawful for her first husband. So what do they do? They bring this borrowed goat, they bring the woman's guardian, and they bring new witnesses who testify that so-and-so married so-and-so on such-and-such a day, and so on, formally. As for the reality, that this wife becomes lawful for her husband who divorced her three times, she does not become lawful for him except after she marries a lawful husband, and so on. And we detailed the discussion of this issue yesterday with some detail.

Allah cursed the Jews ... so they rendered them - meaning: melted them by fire - they rendered them, then they sold them, and ate their price; and indeed, when Allah forbids the eating of something, He forbids its price.
لعن الله اليهود ... فجَمَلُوها - أي : ذوَّبوها بالنار - فجَمَلُوها ، ثم باعوها ، وأكلوا أثمانها ؛ وإن الله إذا حَرَّم أكل شيء حرَّم ثمنهThe point is at the word "rendered them." Allah forbade the Jews, as He (Mighty and Majestic) said:
For wrongdoing on the part of the Jews, We made unlawful for them [certain] good foods which had been lawful to them
فَبِظُلْمٍ مِنَ الَّذِينَ هَادُوا حَرَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ طَيِّبَاتٍ أُحِلَّتْ لَهُمْThe answer is in this very hadith. The Messenger of Allah says:
Allah has cursed the Jews
لعن الله اليهودLet there be the curse of Allah upon the Jews that fat was declared forbidden for them
لعن الله اليهود حُرِّمت عليهم الشحومAnd we have many examples, among them what I mentioned recently that some Muslims circumvent unlawful marriage by naming it a marriage to make permissible what Allah has forbidden.
