Chapter on its conditions and what is prohibited therein.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Then the author said: "Chapter on its conditions". It was expected that he would say "its conditions" (feminine), because *bayu'* (sales) is a plural. Yes, and with a plural, the pronoun referring back to it must be a plural pronoun. But it seems the author (may Allah have mercy on him), when he saw that *bayu'* here is a plural because of the types, while the genus is one, returned the pronoun here to this plural considering the genus, considering the genus, not considering the types.
It has been mentioned to us previously that *shurut* (conditions) is the plural of *shart* (condition), and in the language it means a sign. From this is the saying of Allah the Exalted:
Then do they await except that the Hour should come upon them unexpectedly? But already there have come [some of] its indications فهل ينظرون إلاّ الساعة أن تأتيهم بغتة فقد جاء أشراطها
[Muhammad 47:18]
meaning its signs. And in the Shari'ah, yes, it is that whose absence necessitates absence, and whose presence does not necessitate presence. Yes, and whose presence does not necessitate a good presence.
As for his saying: "and what is prohibited therein", meaning what is prohibited from sales. What is prohibited from sales is far less than what is permitted, because what is prohibited is counted and what is permitted is limited. It is limited, and this is counted. The counted is less than the limited because it is confined, confined by its number. And his saying "what is prohibited therein" includes what Allah prohibited or what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited.
