Does the reality of every country match the reality of another country?

The questioner : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet and Messenger Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. There is no doubt, O Shaykh, that in your previous words you have answered many of the questions that were troubling our hearts. However, you also mentioned the jurisprudence of reality. You clarified that correct jurisprudence is that which is based on the Book and the Sunnah, understood as the Salaf of the Ummah (may Allah be pleased with them) understood it, and that the public benefit in it should outweigh the harm. But O Shaykh, the leaders of the groups present in the scene who take the lead in calling people to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) differ in their understanding of reality. Consequently, they differ in how they treat reality. Likewise, the callers in every country differ in the jurisprudence of their own reality, and they apply the jurisprudence of reality from other countries to their own country, claiming that this is the only truth and that there is no other way for others. And so, I would likeThe Shaykh : to clarify this?

The Shaykh : First, I want you to summarize your words so that you can help me understand them, given my mind, memory, and intellect, which have dried up due to the length of my life.The questioner : May Allah protect you, O Shaykh. May Allah preserve you, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : If you permit!

The questioner : And our Shaykh, O Shaykh, will clarify what I intended.

Another questioner : It is not the drying up of minds like the drying up of the mind.

The questioner : Perhaps, O Shaykh, I can help the brother reach what he is seeking.The Shaykh : No problem, if you will be patient with me, because the desired result may be achieved through a gradual process. I understood from you, or it was fixed in my mind, your first statement: you said they differ in their perception of reality, is that correct?

The questioner : From one country to another.

The Shaykh : They differ in their perception of reality.

The questioner : That is not what I intended, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Then what?

The questioner : In every country, they differ in every sect regarding the jurisprudence of its reality, and they also differ in its treatment.

The Shaykh : Then we give the bow to its arrow.

The questioner : He says, may Allah bless you, that there are those who want to apply a specific reality of one country to another country where the reality of that other country does not suit them, like someone who wants to dress a man in a garment of his size but dresses him in a long garment because it does not suit him.

The Shaykh : Beautiful. Let us stop at this. For example, what is the difference between the reality in this Arab country and any other Arab country, and I do not name it!

The questioner : All right, O Shaykh. The difference, the difference now, O Shaykh, is that in one country tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and creed are famous, and in another country idols, statues, and rivals have appeared. Likewise, in one country they do not rule by what Allah has revealed, and in another country they rule by what Allah has revealed. Also, in one country open immorality has appeared with blatant display, and in another country it has not appeared, even though it exists. They apply this to that, O Shaykh. The reality of this one to that country; they differ in the treatment.

The Shaykh : And what is the treatment for one of them that is better than the other?

The questioner : We are asking, O Shaykh. I do not know; I am asking.

The Shaykh : The treatment is one. We heard just now that the treatment is one.

The questioner : As for you, O Shaykh, the callers present... for example, they apply the jurisprudence of Algeria.

The Shaykh : Yes, the jurisprudence of Algeria. What is wrong with it?

The questioner : For example, they apply it to Saudi Arabia, O Shaykh. Like this, O Shaykh, there are in the scene some of the leaders...

The Shaykh : Please go ahead.
The questioner: The brother sees that what you established a moment ago is a settled matter, without doubt, and it is the truth, if Allah wills. He says that the weakness of some people's knowledge is that they do not know how to deal with the reality in which they live. They do not care about the most important, then the important, the priorities in calling to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). He asks: Is there any guidance?

The Shaykh : I think the question has preceded its answer.

The questioner : That is why I said that you have answered many of the questions.
