A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:05,940 --> 00:00:10,509
The condition (al-shart).

3
00:00:10,509 --> 00:00:15,310
In the linguistic sense, a condition means a sign or marker.

4
00:00:15,310 --> 00:00:17,070
As for its technical definition,

5
00:00:17,070 --> 00:00:19,070
according to the terminology of the jurists (fuqaha'),

6
00:00:19,070 --> 00:00:21,870
it is that which, in its absence, the act itself is absent,

7
00:00:21,870 --> 00:00:24,910
yet its presence does not necessitate the presence of the act.

8
00:00:24,910 --> 00:00:26,269
An example of this:

9
00:00:26,269 --> 00:00:29,149
Wudu (ablution) is a condition for the validity of prayer.

10
00:00:29,149 --> 00:00:31,390
If it is absent, the prayer is negated.

11
00:00:31,550 --> 00:00:35,149
Yet, the mere presence of wudu does not necessitate the existence of prayer.
