Ways of knowing that an act is a condition?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : From my reading, a condition in an action in one of the acts... meaning, it may be known by explicit text that this is a condition, negating the act unless this matter is present, or by scholarly consensus that it is a condition. Are there other ways to know that something is a condition in an act besides these three ways?
The Shaykh : The first way?
The questioner : The text.
The Shaykh : The second one.
The questioner : Negating the validity of the act unless this thing is present, or scholarly consensus that this is a condition in that.
The Shaykh : I don’t remember.
The questioner : Fine, our Shaykh. Then the distinction between a pillar and a condition is that if the condition is found in these matters and is before the act, it is a condition, and if it is within the act, it is a pillar.
The Shaykh : Yes, this is a logical, rational, and terminological distinction, but the ruling is the same.
