00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.640
A summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:12.470
Interpretation that prevents excommunication

00:00:12.470 --> 00:00:20.469
And what is meant by interpretation is understanding the texts of the two revelations with an understanding that contradicts the understanding of the salaf and the principles of Sharia.

00:00:20.469 --> 00:00:25.469
Such a person is excused until the error of their understanding is clarified to them.

00:00:25.469 --> 00:00:29.469
Then they are not excused thereafter if they persist in their erroneous interpretation.

00:00:29.469 --> 00:00:32.500
Like someone who interprets the saying of Allah Almighty:

00:00:32.500 --> 00:00:41.500
“There shall be no sin (imputed) unto those who believe and do good works for what they may have eaten (in the past). So be mindful of your duty (to Allah), and believe, and do good works; and again: be mindful of your duty, and believe; and once again: be mindful of your duty, and do right. Allah loveth the good.” (5:93)

00:00:41.500 --> 00:00:46.500
“There shall be no sin (imputed) unto those who believe and do good works for what they may have eaten (in the past). So be mindful of your duty (to Allah), and believe, and do good works; and again: be mindful of your duty, and believe; and once again: be mindful of your duty, and do right. Allah loveth the good.” (5:93)

00:00:46.500 --> 00:00:49.500
"And Allah loves the doers of good."

00:00:49.500 --> 00:00:53.500
To mean that whoever believes, is pious, does righteous deeds, and does good,

00:00:53.500 --> 00:00:56.500
then there is no blame upon him for drinking wine.

00:00:56.500 --> 00:01:01.500
Such a person is not excommunicated for deeming wine permissible due to their corrupt interpretation.

00:01:01.500 --> 00:01:05.500
Rather, the error and corruption of this interpretation is clarified to them.

00:01:05.500 --> 00:01:09.500
If they insist on their false interpretation after it has been clarified to them,

00:01:09.500 --> 00:01:12.500
then they are not excused thereafter.

00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:17.599
And the interpretation that prevents the excommunication of a specific individual until their doubt is removed

00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:21.599
is an interpretation that does not lead to the nullification of Sharia,

00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:24.599
or falling into clear polytheism,

00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:30.599
or it involves denying what the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, brought,

00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:34.599
or rejecting a fundamental principle upon which religion is based.

00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.599
Such as the interpretations of the Batiniyyah heretics and philosophers,

00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:42.599
which involve atheism and disbelief in the Hereafter,

00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.599
and the nullification of Sharia rulings,

00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:49.599
and the abandonment of obligations and deeming forbidden things permissible.
