A summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah:

2
00:00:09,150 --> 00:00:15,150
Inability to perform an entire command does not waive the obligation to fulfill whatever of it lies within one's capability.

3
00:00:15,150 --> 00:00:21,019
Thus, whoever has had their hand amputated is exempt from washing the hand during wudu,

4
00:00:21,019 --> 00:00:26,019
yet the obligation remains upon them to wash the rest of the arm up to the elbow.

5
00:00:26,019 --> 00:00:32,049
The scholars derived this principle from the words of Allah, the Exalted:

6
00:00:32,049 --> 00:00:35,049
“So keep your duty to Allah as best ye can, and listen, and obey, and spend; that is better for your souls. And whoso is saved from his own greed, such are the successful.” (64:16)

7
00:00:35,049 --> 00:00:39,049
For this is what fearing Allah according to one's capability necessitates.

8
00:00:39,049 --> 00:00:44,079
This is also indicated by his statement, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him:

9
00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:49,079
"When I command you to do something, fulfill as much of it as you are able."

10
00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:52,109
