What is required of a person if the wisdom behind the Shari'ah and divine decree is unclear to him?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you. Some people find it difficult to know the wisdom behind the Shari'ah and divine decree, so what should they do...? Indeed, Allah is Wise, so He does not do anything except for a wisdom. So you should search and reflect until it becomes clear...?
The Shaykh : We say: If the wisdom of something from the Shari'ah and divine decree is unclear to a person, he must submit.[Al-Ahzab 33:36] Aisha was asked by the woman who asked her, "What is the reason that a menstruating woman makes up the fast but not the prayer?" She said: Mishkat al-Masabih 2032 And let him know that every ruling must have a wisdom, even if it is unknown. There is no harm in searching for the wisdom for the sake of guidance, not for the sake of criticism.
The Shaykh : We say: If the wisdom of something from the Shari'ah and divine decree is unclear to a person, he must submit.
