The Shaykh : What is the ruling on what is called al-huquq, or the tying of a sheep or two sheep? The right, meaning between the tribes. There are people in a dispute, one... The punishment, what does that mean? Yes, the punishments that the one in authority legislates. As for what occurs among people, such as when they say, "If a person makes a mistake in something, you must offer a sacrifice, you must pay one hundred riyals, you must take us on an outing for a picnic," all of this is invalid compulsion that entails consuming the wealth of people without right. If a man makes a mistake in the slightest word, if he intends to say "O Muhammad" to address a person named Muhammad but says "O Abdullah," and the other says, "Done, you called me Abdullah, you owe me a right," who said this? Who said this? And by what do you compel him to pay this money? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1554a The point is his statement: "By what do you take the wealth of your brother without right?" These rights that some people impose on a person who has not done what necessitates them, we say are invalid, and it is not permissible for a person to compel his brother to such rights. Yes.
