00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:09.599
A summary of the core concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah:

The overlapping of benefits and harms.

00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:18.399
Benefits and harms are rarely unmixed;

00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:22.399
rather, they are most often intertwined or competing with one another.

00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:26.399
In such cases, a Muslim acts upon the general legal maxims governing them,

00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:31.399

00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:34.399
prioritizing the greater of two benefits over the lesser;

00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:37.399
and choosing the lesser of two harms.
