The Impact of the Impossibility of Objects on Sharia Rulings – A Comparative Jurisprudential Study
Abstract
The divine ruling in Islamic law is either based on a cause, dependent on its existence or nonexistence, or purely ritual, without a known cause to follow it, according to the classification of scholars. Since the ruling is related to the cause in reasoned rulings, evidence from the Qur’an, Sunnah, consensus, and reason indicates that the transformation of the impure substance from its true nature and description to another nature with a different description is considered, and the effect of its transformation is taken into account on the legal ruling, based on the fact that the change and transformation of the substance has an effect on the legal ruling. This is what most Malikis consider in a rule they call “transformation,” or other established names for it. Jurists have based many examples on this rule that address the daily life of Muslims, such as the transformation of sewage water, the transformation of cheese formed by the rennet of an animal whose meat is permissible to eat, and other applications that are of great importance. However, the difference in the meaning of this rule and the consideration of its effect was a matter of consideration in the school, and this is what led them to formulate some of its names in the form of a question.
