00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:09.759
Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:13.339
Unrestricted public interest (Masalih al-Mursalah)

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.

00:00:19.339 --> 00:00:23.339
Thus, they are unrestricted from the constraint of consideration or disregard.

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.

00:00:28.339 --> 00:00:32.340
And they fall under the general principle of the Sharia,

00:00:32.340 --> 00:00:35.340
which is to consider public interests and avert harms.

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,

00:00:42.340 --> 00:00:47.340
such as the sciences of Arabic, Usul al-Fiqh (principles of jurisprudence), and Hadith terminology.

00:00:47.340 --> 00:00:53.340
And other such interests about which no rational person doubts their suitability for the Sharia.
