And by Allah, the people are not compelled to resort to anything other than what occurs between them in a given time (Clarification of the invalidity of the claim that the ruling for every specific issue is found in the Book and the Sunnah)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Then the author said:
"And by Allah, the people are not compelled to resort to anything other than what occurs between them in a given time"
This means that the texts are sufficient, and they are indeed sufficient. However, there is no doubt that this is not an absolute statement. Incidents are endless, and I mean that incidents may sometimes fall under general texts, but some people do not understand their inclusion and resort to analogical reasoning (qiyas) and the claim that the ruling for every specific issue is found in the Book and the Sunnah. There is something troubling about this claim. But yes, there is a reference to analogical reasoning in the Book and the Sunnah, and in that case, it has a basis in the Book and the Sunnah in the sense that the Book and the Sunnah refer to valid analogical reasoning. The important point is that the author’s statement here says:
"And by Allah, the people are not compelled to resort to anything other than what occurs between them in a given time".
