Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

2
00:00:09,759 --> 00:00:13,339
Unrestricted public interest (Masalih al-Mursalah)

3
00:00:13,339 --> 00:00:19,339
These are interests for which there is no specific textual evidence in the Sharia to consider them or to disregard them.

4
00:00:19,339 --> 00:00:23,339
Thus, they are unrestricted from the constraint of consideration or disregard.

5
00:00:23,339 --> 00:00:28,339
However, they possess a meaning that makes it appropriate for a ruling to be legislated for them.

6
00:00:28,339 --> 00:00:32,340
And they fall under the general principle of the Sharia,

7
00:00:32,340 --> 00:00:35,340
which is to consider public interests and avert harms.

8
00:00:35,340 --> 00:00:42,340
Examples of this include the compilation of the Qur'an, the establishment of administrative registries, and the codification of sciences,

9
00:00:42,340 --> 00:00:47,340
such as the sciences of Arabic, Usul al-Fiqh (principles of jurisprudence), and Hadith terminology.

10
00:00:47,340 --> 00:00:53,340
And other such interests about which no rational person doubts their suitability for the Sharia.
