Unrestricted public interest (Masalih al-Mursalah)
0:13
These are interests for which there is no specific textual evidence in the Sharia to consider them or to disregard them.
0:19
Thus, they are unrestricted from the constraint of consideration or disregard.
0:23
However, they possess a meaning that makes it appropriate for a ruling to be legislated for them.
0:28
And they fall under the general principle of the Sharia,
0:32
which is to consider public interests and avert harms.
0:35
Examples of this include the compilation of the Qur'an, the establishment of administrative registries, and the codification of sciences,
0:42
such as the sciences of Arabic, Usul al-Fiqh (principles of jurisprudence), and Hadith terminology.
0:47
And other such interests about which no rational person doubts their suitability for the Sharia.
