00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:09.150
A summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah:

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.

00:00:15.150 --> 00:00:21.019
Thus, whoever has had their hand amputated is exempt from washing the hand during wudu,

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.

00:00:26.019 --> 00:00:32.049
The scholars derived this principle from the words of Allah, the Exalted:

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)

00:00:35.049 --> 00:00:39.049
For this is what fearing Allah according to one's capability necessitates.

00:00:39.049 --> 00:00:44.079
This is also indicated by his statement, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him:

00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:49.079
"When I command you to do something, fulfill as much of it as you are able."

00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:52.109
