00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:05.940
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:05.940 --> 00:00:10.509
The condition (al-shart).

00:00:10.509 --> 00:00:15.310
In the linguistic sense, a condition means a sign or marker.

00:00:15.310 --> 00:00:17.070
As for its technical definition,

00:00:17.070 --> 00:00:19.070
according to the terminology of the jurists (fuqaha'),

00:00:19.070 --> 00:00:21.870
it is that which, in its absence, the act itself is absent,

00:00:21.870 --> 00:00:24.910
yet its presence does not necessitate the presence of the act.

00:00:24.910 --> 00:00:26.269
An example of this:

00:00:26.269 --> 00:00:29.149
Wudu (ablution) is a condition for the validity of prayer.

00:00:29.149 --> 00:00:31.390
If it is absent, the prayer is negated.

00:00:31.550 --> 00:00:35.149
Yet, the mere presence of wudu does not necessitate the existence of prayer.

00:00:35.149 --> 00:00:39.969
