Interpretation that prevents excommunication
0:12
And what is meant by interpretation is understanding the texts of the two revelations with an understanding that contradicts the understanding of the salaf and the principles of Sharia.
0:20
Such a person is excused until the error of their understanding is clarified to them.
0:25
Then they are not excused thereafter if they persist in their erroneous interpretation.
0:29
Like someone who interprets the saying of Allah Almighty:
0:32
“There shall be no sin (imputed) unto those who believe and do good works for what they may have eaten (in the past). So be mindful of your duty (to Allah), and believe, and do good works; and again: be mindful of your duty, and believe; and once again: be mindful of your duty, and do right. Allah loveth the good.” (5:93)
0:41
“There shall be no sin (imputed) unto those who believe and do good works for what they may have eaten (in the past). So be mindful of your duty (to Allah), and believe, and do good works; and again: be mindful of your duty, and believe; and once again: be mindful of your duty, and do right. Allah loveth the good.” (5:93)
0:46
"And Allah loves the doers of good."
0:49
To mean that whoever believes, is pious, does righteous deeds, and does good,
0:53
then there is no blame upon him for drinking wine.
0:56
Such a person is not excommunicated for deeming wine permissible due to their corrupt interpretation.
1:01
Rather, the error and corruption of this interpretation is clarified to them.
1:05
If they insist on their false interpretation after it has been clarified to them,
1:09
then they are not excused thereafter.
1:12
And the interpretation that prevents the excommunication of a specific individual until their doubt is removed
1:17
is an interpretation that does not lead to the nullification of Sharia,
1:21
or falling into clear polytheism,
1:24
or it involves denying what the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, brought,
1:30
or rejecting a fundamental principle upon which religion is based.
1:34
Such as the interpretations of the Batiniyyah heretics and philosophers,
1:38
which involve atheism and disbelief in the Hereafter,
1:42
and the nullification of Sharia rulings,
1:45
and the abandonment of obligations and deeming forbidden things permissible.
