Is it permissible for the ruler to contradict the Shari'ah in matters of public benefit?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : How is he supposed to call the adhan? Is he supposed to break his fast now and then call the adhan?
The Shaykh : We do not have this level of precision in this issue, so whichever one he does is permissible.
The questioner : I mean, is it permissible for me to remain fasting after the time has passed?
The Shaykh : Just as it is permissible to call the adhan at the beginning of the time, it is permissible to break the fast at the beginning of the time. Whether he does one before the other, we do not distinguish between them in a way that would lead us to say, "Break the fast, then call the adhan," or "Call the adhan, then break the fast."
......
The Shaykh : It is not permissible to use unintelligible words for exorcism because the words may contain shirk (associating partners with Allah). The first thing that comes to mind is that "Ya" is an intelligible vocative particle. "Kabeed" might be the name of a wicked devil, so he is calling upon him for aid, and in fact, this devil's function is to misguide those who call upon him and to prevent the cure. This is established by experience. He misled them with a name whose origin is unknown, or rather, it is unknown. He used to say, "We Turks inherited this," meaning they inherited the writing. It is against the termite, and the books of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) state that this usage is not permissible, and this is the truth. But people have customs and traditions they follow, and the scholars follow them, so what do you think of the general public?
The questioner : I saw that when I went to Turkey, it was rare for a book to come into my hands that did not have this "Ya Kabeed" on it. They write it and make it large and in a strange image.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is so.
The questioner : And who is Kabeed?
The Shaykh : May Allah keep you away from it.
The questioner : I mean, the devil in the Turkish language?
The Shaykh: Perhaps.
The questioner : Professor, regarding the subject of Jafar, this is a book we have read and read a little from. What is the origin of the book? They attribute it to being the original news from 'Ali ibn Abi Talib?
The Shaykh : It has no basis.
The Shaykh : We do not have this level of precision in this issue, so whichever one he does is permissible.
