Evidence of Commands and Prohibitions in the Book and the Sunnah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
He has two other questions, which are actually related to the principles of jurisprudence, and we would like to point them out. He says: We sometimes hear that the commands established in the Book and the Sunnah indicate recommendation, except in the case where a circumstance indicates obligation. And there are those who say the opposite: every command in the Book and the Sunnah indicates obligation, unless something diverts it to recommendation. So which of these two statements is relied upon by the people of the principles of jurisprudence?
Answer: The more correct view is the second one. The more correct view is that commands and prohibitions are for obligation and prohibition; this is the default ruling. The commands of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and the commands of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) are all understood as obligatory, unless evidence indicates recommendation. Likewise, the prohibition from Allah and from His Messenger is understood as prohibition and prevention, unless something comes that indicates dislike and the absence of prohibition. This is a continuous rule among the people of the Sunnah and among the people of truth from the scholars of the principles of jurisprudence. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
