Judging prohibitory sentence as only conveying undesirability and the imperative one as only expressing desirability (Principles of Fiqh)

(Part No. 5; Page No. 7)

The second question of Fatwa no. 4221

Q: At times, a prohibitive statement merely indicates undesirability and an imperative statement may only indicate desirability. How is the intended meaning determined? For example, many religious texts express the prohibition of building, sitting, writing, treading, or leaning against graves. However, Imam Ahmad maintains that these acts are only undesirable (refer to "Zad Al-Mustaqna`", Chapter on Funerals). Similarly, menstruating and unmarried women's attendance at the religious celebration of the two Feasts is only desirable according to the commentator of "`Umdat Al-Ahkam", not obligatory.

A: All Praise is due to Allah Alone. Peace and blessings be upon His Messenger, his family, and Companions! To commence: The standard of judging these statements depends on the contexts related to commandments and prohibitions. If no presumptive evidence exists to turn the imperative into desirable or the prohibitory into merely undesirable, then the basic rule is that imperative statements indicate obligation and prohibitory statements denote the unlawful. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.

Nahy for Tahrim and a Nahy for Nadb (Principles of Fiqh)

(Part No. 5; Page No. 6)

Nahy

The fifth question of Fatwa no. 8241

Q: In reference to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) Hadith When I command you to do anything, do as much of it as is within your capability; when I forbid you to do anything, stay away from it, is it true that there are levels of Nahy indicating how serious it is to do or not to do something, including Nahy Tahrim (forbidding something due to its being prohibited, Nahy Takrim (forbidding something for the sake of reaching perfection) Nahy Tanzih (forbidding something despite its close proximity to being lawful), Nahy Nadb (forbiddance denoting recommendation not to do something but no strict prohibition), and the like? Another example is the Hadith narrated in Sahih Al-Jami` to the effect that The Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade combing the hair everyday (unless urgently needed). Does the forbiddance imply prohibition or is it just discouraging it?

A: Praise be to Allah Alone and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger, his family and Companions. In principle, Nahy (forbiddance) implies prohibition unless otherwise indicated by contextual evidence. There is nothing called Nahy Nadb. If there is contextual evidence denoting that Nahy is meant for disapproval rather than absolute forbiddance, it will thus be termed Karahat-ul-Tanazih (disapproving something which is not prohibited). With regard to the Hadith mentioned above, its meaning is sound and it was narrated in a different wording by Al-Tirmidhy from `Abdullah ibn Mughaffal (may Allah be pleased with him) who said, The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) forbade combing the hair, cleaning it and embellishing it, except on every other day (unless urgently needed). He classified the Hadith as Hasan (a Hadith whose chain of narration contains a narrator with weak exactitude, but is free from eccentricity or blemish.) and Sahih (a Hadith that has been transmitted by people known for their uprightness and exactitude; free from eccentricity and blemish).

May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
