Qawāʿid al-Fiqhiyyah | No Obligation with Inability, No Prohibition in Necessity | Shaykh Amubieya

How does Islamic law deal with hardship, inability, and necessity? In this Morning Class at Oke Sunnah, Shaykh Sulayman Muhammadul Awwal Amubieya (حفظه الله ورعاه) explains the Fourteenth Legal Maxim (القاعدة الرابعة عشرة) from Qawāʿid al-Fiqhiyyah: لَا وَاجِبَ مَعَ الْعَجْزِ، وَلَا مُحَرَّمَ مَعَ الضَّرُورَةِ “There is no obligation when one is genuinely unable, and no prohibition in cases of necessity.” This foundational principle demonstrates the mercy and flexibility of Islamic law. It explains how the Sharīʿah removes hardship when a person is genuinely incapable of fulfilling an obligation or faces a situation of genuine necessity. Delivered in Arabic and Yoruba, this lesson draws from the Qur’an, the authentic Sunnah, and the understanding of the righteous predecessors. In this lecture, you’ll learn: The meaning of the Fourteenth Legal Maxim. The difference between inability (ʿAjz) and necessity (Ḍarūrah). When obligations are lifted in Islam. When prohibited matters become temporarily permissible due to necessity. Practical examples from everyday life. The balance between ease and obedience in the Sharīʿah. This lesson is essential for students of knowledge and every Muslim seeking a deeper understanding of Islamic jurisprudence. 🎙️ Lecturer: Shaykh Sulayman Muhammadul Awwal Amubieya (حفظه الله ورعاه) 📚 Series: Morning Class – Qawāʿid al-Fiqhiyyah 📖 Topic: No Obligation with Inability, No Prohibition in Necessity 🗣️ Language: Arabic & Yoruba 📍 Venue: Oke Sunnah May Allah grant us beneficial knowledge, correct understanding of His religion, and the wisdom to apply His laws with sincerity and justice.
