The Meaning of the Poet's Statement: "And for that reason, it is not necessary for the schools of the ***scholars that their school be without evidence"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And for this reason, "And for that reason, it is not necessary for the schools of the ***scholars" what is that? "that their school be without evidence"
This means that what is necessitated by the statements of the scholars is not part of their schools; that is, it is not part of their schools. So, if a scholar's statement necessitates such and such, it is not his statement. And if a school necessitates such and such, it is not the school's position until this necessary consequence is presented to the one who holds the view, and then he says, "Yes, this is necessitated by my statement, and I am committed to it." Only then does the necessary consequence become a statement. Thus, the necessary consequence of a statement is not a statement unless the one who holds the view knows it and commits to it. If he does not know it, it is not his statement. And if he knows it and rejects it, saying, "This does not follow from my statement," then it is not his statement.
Now, if someone asks, "If we do not know whether the man who made this statement knows that his statement necessitates this other statement or not, what is the case?" The original state is that he does not know; the original state is the absence of knowledge, and the original state is the absence of commitment to it. Yes.
