The Shaykh : If a situation is found to be like the situation of Salim, then the ruling of Salim applies to it, and a situation like the situation of Salim is impossible. Why? Because adoption was abolished and invalidated in Islam. Accordingly, the principle established by the Shaykh al-Islam is correct: it is not possible for a specific person to be singled out with a specific legal ruling that is not subject to contradiction, that is consistent and contains no contradiction. So, regarding the story of Abu Burdah, we say: If a person like him sacrifices his udhiyah before the prayer out of ignorance, and he has nothing else but a small animal that is not suitable for sacrifice, we say: sacrifice with it, and there is no blame on him, because his situation is like the situation of whom? Like the situation of Abu Burdah (may Allah be pleased with him). The wording is ambiguous, as the meaning could be "after your situation." The broad and great principle is that no one is singled out with a specific legal ruling that prevents it from being specific to him personally. Yes. This is your companion saying: that is the end of it.
