00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.609
Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

00:00:08.609 --> 00:00:12.609
There is no compulsion regarding recommended acts or permissible acts.

00:00:12.609 --> 00:00:18.250
Recommended acts, permissible acts, and matters of choice.

00:00:18.250 --> 00:00:21.250
It is not permissible to compel people in these matters.

00:00:21.250 --> 00:00:25.250
So, if Allah opens a door for you to recommended acts,

00:00:25.250 --> 00:00:29.250
do not insist that people be like you in it.

00:00:29.250 --> 00:00:32.250
For the one who performs recommended acts is rewarded,

00:00:32.250 --> 00:00:34.250
but the one who abandons them is not blamed.

00:00:34.250 --> 00:00:38.250
And perhaps Allah opens for one who abandons what you are upon

00:00:38.250 --> 00:00:41.250
from the recommended acts another door,

00:00:41.250 --> 00:00:44.250
in which they are more enthusiastic and more capable.

00:00:44.250 --> 00:00:46.250
And from the category of, or rather,

00:00:46.250 --> 00:00:50.250
there is no blame on one who performs a permissible act or abandons it.

00:00:50.250 --> 00:00:53.250
This is the implication of calling it permissible.

00:00:53.250 --> 00:00:56.469
Similarly, regarding what is obligatory,

00:00:56.469 --> 00:00:59.469
on the basis of choice between several options,

00:00:59.469 --> 00:01:03.469
it is not permissible to compel people to a single specific option.

00:01:03.469 --> 00:01:06.469
This is like the expiation for breaking an oath.

00:01:06.469 --> 00:01:11.469
The one who breaks an oath is given a choice between feeding ten poor people,

00:01:11.469 --> 00:01:14.469
“Allah will not take you to task for that which is unintentional in your oaths, but He will take you to task for the oaths which ye swear in earnest. The expiation thereof is the feeding of ten of the needy with the average of that wherewith ye feed your own folk, or the clothing of them, or the liberation of a slave, and for him who findeth not (the wherewithal to do so) then a three days' fast. This is the expiation of your oaths when ye have sworn; and keep your oaths. Thus Allah expoundeth unto you His revelations in order that ye may give thanks.” (5:89)

00:01:14.469 --> 00:01:20.469
and if they cannot find that, they switch to fasting for three days.

00:01:20.469 --> 00:01:23.469
Likewise, the expiation for prohibitions during Ihram.

00:01:23.469 --> 00:01:28.469
A person is given a choice between fasting, charity, and sacrifice.

00:01:30.500 --> 00:01:33.500
