Jurisprudence and Juristic Principles

Indeed, Allah Almighty has enjoined obligations, so do not violate them; He has set limits, so do not transgress them; He has forbidden things, so do not commit them; and He has kept silent about things out of mercy for you, not out of forgetfulness, so do not search for them Islam is built on five Leave what you doubt for what you do not doubt Indeed, Allah has enjoined Ihsān (kindness/excellence) in all things If I were to pray the obligatory prayers, fast Ramadan, adopt the lawful, as lawful and adopt the unlawful as unlawful Purity is half of faith, al-hamdulillāh (praise be to Allah) fills the Scale, and subhānallāh wa al-hamdulillāh (glory and praise be to Allah) fills what is between the heavens and the earth There should be no harm or reciprocal harm Were people to be given everything they claimed, some men would claim the properties and blood of (other) people. However, the onus of proof is on the plaintiff and the oath is upon the one who denies the claim (defendant) Every intoxicant is prohibited Whoever performs Hajj without engaging in rafath (sexual relations or obscene speech) or sinning will return like the day his mother gave birth to him No prayer should be offered in the presence of food or when he is resisting the need to relieve himself of the two filths If you say to your companion 'listen' on Friday while the Imām is delivering the sermon, you have thus engaged in idle talk Five are acts of Fitrah (natural disposition): circumcision, shaving the pubic hair, trimming the mustache, clipping the nails, and plucking the armpit hair Trim the mustaches and let the beards grow If anyone performs ablution like this ablution of mine and offers two Rak'ahs during which he does not think of anything else, Allah will forgive his past sins O Allah, do not make my grave an idol that is worshiped The most burdensome prayers for the hypocrites are the ‘Ishā’ and Fajr prayers. If they were to know the virtue of them, they would come to them, even if they had to crawl Allah does not accept the prayer of any of you who is in the state of Hadath (minor ritual impurity) until he performs ablution The tooth-stick purifies the mouth and pleases the Lord The five (daily) prayers, Friday prayer to the next Friday prayer, and Ramadan to the next Ramadan are expiation of the sins committed between them, so long as major sins are avoided
