Explaining the meaning of the statement by some scholars: that a fatwa changes with the change of time.

The Shaykh : He held fast to the statement of some distinguished and precise scholars that a fatwa changes with the change of time, and he assumed that the meaning of this is that it is permissible for us to manipulate the Shari'ah, saying that this thing is forbidden in this place, but lawful in another place, or forbidden in this time, but lawful in another time, or lawful for this group of people, but lawful for another group. He overlooked, or feigned to overlook, the correct meaning of this statement which came from some of the precise scholars. The meaning of this statement is that the verification of the operative cause to which the legal ruling is attached is what differs. If it differs, then the ruling follows the operative cause for which it was legislated, and it differs according to the difference in the operative cause that necessitates the ruling. There are examples of this.
