Does a pressing need permit the prohibited?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : If someone were to say: A pressing need does not permit the prohibited?
The Shaykh : I expect you will ask about this, which is: Does a pressing need permit the prohibited?
We say: Yes, the original ruling is that a pressing need does not permit the prohibited. This is because the need leads to the loss of that which the prohibition is attached to. So, with regard to him, with regard to its preservation, is it a dire necessity or a pressing need?
I ask you, since we know that if we left it outside, it would be stolen, so its presence with you is a dire necessity for its preservation. Otherwise, we would say: Every day you have a mushaf, that is a problem. This question is expected to be raised by you because of this rule.
