What is your opinion of my answer to one of them who asked me about the wisdom behind not burying the man who had intercourse with his wife, namely that it is an act of worship that is not explained by a reason?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A shaykh of mine asked me yesterday, saying, "What is the wisdom?" By Allah, we have the rulings of the Shari'ah, and we do not provide reasons unless the wise Shari'ah provides them. I might give you a reason from my own mind right now, but that reason, shaykh, is not the one you mentioned.
The Shaykh : It resolves some of the problem, because the people of philosophy keep asking, "What is the wisdom?"
The questioner : Yes, I told him, "I might give you a reason now, but you may not be convinced by it." By Allah, it is possible that it is because this man enjoyed the world that night, and this is an act for the Hereafter. May Allah reward you with good. So it is better than one who did not enjoy the world. I told him, "But you might reject this, or someone else might." Yes, so there is discussion back and forth. But he was pleased and said, "By Allah, your reasoning is logical, O shaykh." This is one of those present. As for now, shaykh, is it because it is a woman, or does the ruling specifically concern women?
The Shaykh : Clarify.
The questioner : So clarify, yes. May Allah reward you with good.
Another questioner : Shaykh, we took the specification of the woman over the man from the same text, which is...
The Shaykh : And it is so.
The questioner : Carrying the burden on the carrier... So one person came to me after I had withdrawn, my brothers and I had withdrawn to a corner. Of course, they did not respond to me. He said to me, "O shaykh, may Allah bless you, your words are good, and so be it, but my brother, by Allah, I have never heard of this in my life." I said to him, "May Allah bless you. Do you think how much of Allah's religion the Ummah is practicing today?" He said, "A little." I said, "Meaning one in a hundred?" He said, "I say, by Allah, if one in a hundred, that is a blessing. I do not think there is one in a hundred." So these rulings from Allah (Mighty and Majestic) are far from the people, but we do not despair, if Allah wills. Every time an occasion like this one comes, we sing and talk. By the glory of Allah, some people, shaykh, respond, but the majority takes them. Some people were convinced by my opinion, but they saw that everyone was silent, so they went along with them. We ask Allah for well-being.
