Reading from the author's text with commentary and collation of manuscripts: "Then know that their actions are of three categories: a category that is prescribed in our religion
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: And blessings and peace be upon the noblest of the prophets and messengers, our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions
As for after: The Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said in *Iqtida' al-Sirat al-Mustaqim* "Then know that their actions are of three categories
A category that is prescribed in our religion, whether it was prescribed for them or it is not known that it was prescribed for them, but they do it now
And a category that was prescribed and then abrogated by the law of the Qur'an
And a category that was not prescribed in any way, but rather they innovated it
And these three categories: either they are in pure acts of worship, or they are in pure customs, which are etiquettes, or they combine acts of worship and customs, so these are nine categories.
As for the first category: which is what was prescribed in both Shari'ahs, or what was prescribed for us and they do it, this is like fasting on 'Ashura, or like the original prayer and fasting"
The Shaykh : And like the original, and like the original
The reader: Correction, Shaykh
The Shaykh : Yes.
The reader: I have "and like the original"
The Shaykh : You have "and like the original"
The reader: "So this is like fasting on 'Ashura, and like the original prayer and fasting, so here, so here, so here"
The Shaykh : So here
The reader: "So here the difference lies in the description of that act, as we were prescribed fasting on Tashu'a and 'Ashura"
The Shaykh : And 'Ashura
The student: Listen
The Shaykh : And 'Ashura, fasting on Tashu'a and 'Ashura
The reader: Yes, I have it that way too, Shaykh
The Shaykh : Ah?
The reader: I have it that way too with the waw
The Shaykh : I heard you say "or"
The reader: Or, no, I don't have it
The Shaykh : What did he say?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : There, good, if Allah wills, the important thing is in any case, and 'Ashura, Tashu'a and 'Ashura
The reader: "As we were prescribed fasting on Tashu'a and 'Ashura"
The Shaykh : There, what did he say
The student: Tashu'a and 'Ashura
The Shaykh : In any case, know that there is no waw in it, and he pronounces it as he wishes, there is no hamza in it
The student: There is no
The Shaykh : There is no hamza, there is no hamza, and he pronounces it as he wishes, yes.
The reader: "And as we were commanded to hasten breaking the fast and Maghrib in opposition to the People of the Book, and to delay the pre-dawn meal in opposition to the People of the Book, and as..."
The student: ...
The Shaykh : I have "al-futur" for me, meaning there is no difference, the meaning does not require it, yes
The reader: "And as we were commanded to pray in sandals in opposition to the Jews, and this is common in acts of worship, and likewise in customs. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 1554Da’if (Darussalam) And it was prescribed to direct the graves of Muslims toward the Ka'bah, to distinguish them from the graves of disbelievers, for the original burial is among the prescribed matters in customary affairs, then the Shari'ahs differed in its description, and it also contains acts of worship, and wearing sandals in prayer contains worship and custom, and removing sandals in prayer was a Shari'ah that was for Musa (peace be upon him), and likewise separating from menstruating women, and the like of those Shari'ahs in which we agreed with them in the original and differed with them in the description"
The Shaykh : That is, the author (may Allah have mercy on him) says that if the act is prescribed in both Shari'ahs, then we are commanded with the original of the act, but we differ with them in what? In its description. It may be in its place, and it may be in its time. The important thing is that it is prescribed for us to differ with them in this act which is prescribed, whether it is worship or custom, yes.
