00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:08,580
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:08,580 --> 00:00:13,580
There must be a legal basis in the Shari'ah for abstaining from any given thing out of piety.

3
00:00:13,580 --> 00:00:23,410
Piety in any matter, whether through abstention or action, should be based on evidence from the Qur'an or the Sunnah.

4
00:00:23,410 --> 00:00:30,410
There is no piety in following whims or corrupt assumptions, as is the case with those prone to obsessive doubts regarding ritual purity and impurities.

5
00:00:30,410 --> 00:00:36,409
They mistakenly believe these obsessive doubts are a form of piety and a concern for the validity of their worship.

6
00:00:36,409 --> 00:00:39,409
Yet, in the eyes of the Shari'ah, such behavior is blameworthy.

7
00:00:39,409 --> 00:00:46,409
The same applies to those who abstained from marrying women, sleeping at night, or breaking their fast during the day.

8
00:00:46,409 --> 00:00:52,409
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, condemned their actions and said regarding them:

9
00:00:52,409 --> 00:00:58,409
"Whoever turns away from my Sunnah is not of me," a hadith agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim.
