The Shaykh : The second condition
"And likewise, it is conditioned upon removing their chains*** For their chains are shackles around the necks"
This means that it is also required that the conditions they have imposed be deleted and removed. For example, they say: "It is a condition for accepting reports regarding the attributes that they be mass-transmitted (mutawatir)." Where does this come from? They say: "It is a condition for acting upon the apparent meanings of texts that they not contradict the intellect." Where does this come from? Does the intellect judge the texts, or is it the other way around? It is the other way around. Then, what is the intellect that judges the texts? Whose intellect? We must remove all the conditions they have imposed. It is clear.
