00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.580
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

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.

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.

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.

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.

00:00:36.409 --> 00:00:39.409
Yet, in the eyes of the Shari'ah, such behavior is blameworthy.

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.

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:

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.
