Cozumel Buzzelli of North Africa blah blah blah right let's just get to he dictated a fatwa to his students on the subject semana then shared amongst the older man an 11th century scholar further elaborates on this blah blah blah I'll also his view was that in places where the ruler has no power to enforce had punishments on criminals but is able to impose monetary penalties rather than leave such crimes unpunished it would be permissible for him to resort to
imposing monetary penalties this is about the desert dwellers the Bedouins of Africa and the lands distant from civilization so this is what they're saying albertalli was actually saying this is the claim yeah the evil Buddha so he was advocating or Abu layth claims why did he limit his discussion right so anyway right now let's
right so if anybody's trolling I will be blocking them so let's take a look at this right here this is obviously it's backwards because the camera is reversed those of you that have just tuned in and Charlotte like click Shane shall get this out there let other people benefit and if you have any questions post them and I'll get to them so this is a nozzle which are like fatah witha that occur with the day and age that's what they called this is known as nozzle LGD that will Cooper all by you
have this by Chef Matthew was any right now this is also known as a yellow jade eat okay so while Maharaja did because this this water by the way who who's passed away less than a century ago so in the early 1900's he passes away but was an amazing legendary scholar of his time and was seen as one of the major kind of maliki in cycle he was like a living encyclopedia of his time lived in the mother hip
so Maddie L was Ernie Ibiza right now he and he is from my teachers teacher so and some of my si neat go through him in fifth and these other things but anyway that's a different discussion now several centuries ago in the 8th go to as the end of the 8th century in Islam so we're talking about six seven hundred years ago in Islam there was a North African scholar by the name of one sherry see who wrote a book called almería the kind of standard and
in this mayor he compiles fatah wa that are contemporary crises and he puts them together of scholars from 3 he says el mayoral Marie main Fatah wa allama and the while a 3-tier world mothering so from the scholars of al-andalus Muslim Spain and from the scholars of from the scholars of Africa and Africa then was heavily referred to as what is modern-day Tunisia and annulled mother
in northwest Africa so now this one Charisse II wrote that book and I do have that up the era teen it's it's in about twelve different volumes it's it's published ten I mean it could be depending on which publication you can't get it in anything between a two depending on the edition now so alma mater it was was issued now that was awesome because it preserved several texts and articles which were written by scholars and may have been lost to just the vicissitudes of fate if it wasn't for him putting them into his book so
his book kind of preserved several articles now because he they dealing with contemporary issues we're seeing a lot of the version of modern for their age mindset now that was brilliant because it was up to his age which is about six hundred years ago over six hundred years ago but what about after that because Muslim Spain collapses and all of these and times change again so along comes CV or share a bracer Almaty al-rezani and he compiles all
Maharaja deed the new standard and in this which is also in print this this addition has twelve volumes but other people can I mean other editions may vary now in this he compiles those four tower those rulings that were issued from one Charice his time after his time up until was Annie's age which is just almost a century ago so we've once again got he's kind of like bridges that gap so it's awesome right so this is an incredible encyclopedia on contemporary day to day issues
that people were facing in that part of the world which is Northwest and North Africa okay Muslims and how scholars were dealing with them right now so in here see CDL was Daniel Cheryl was Amy brings this whole discussion of an imam al-ghazali those of you who just tuned in if you click like and if you can share the link get it out they let other people benefit in Charlotte so here's a whole discussion which spans several pages and it's not to say that he
necessarily agrees wholeheartedly I'm not saying he necessarily agrees wholeheartedly with what Boozle is saying however he does bring the entire discussion and just to show you I wanna just to kind of bring this to your attention now
just to give you an idea right so this is right going to here so you've got almost from page I mean there's this some kind of an intro like some discussions leading into it but almost from page 204 going all the way to page you've got like you've got all of these pages in in the middle here all
of these going right up until page 237 he's just discussing this right so this is what he's actually kind of discussing in in all of these pages right now and right so just to kind of like clarify now in here he's bringing that is it permissible first of all there's
this rich discussion on our are we allowed to take the money of people now this is an important discussion because in the past you see now this is ironic because in the past the way ethics viewed things people's property was more valuable than they Cooper's than their body so in the past people would for example they may go out on a war or an expedition or they've come back they've lost a limb but hey I've I've got a a goblet made out of gold and hamdulillah
like this is and this wasn't just Muslims this was a mindset throughout the world that people's property was like such a and I don't mean my property actual land but their actual belongings was so precious to them that can it be can the sanctity of that be violated so they he has this huge discussion showing that that that whether that can or can't and the Maliki kind of scholars who have argued for or against over the time but I don't want to go into all of that what I want to highlight is where he speaks
about Imam Ghazali now so on page 210 he highlights that that he brings this whole discussion that title in a sea a cobia Mecca dreamer at the terminal for the statement going back to the Salaf abdullah going back to home rebel Abdul Aziz who was the ruler of his time the Caliph of his time who said in Medina he that he stated that the laws will continue to change as people continue to change with what they create as mischief
or doings now based on this he says that man after through ho Minako but evil men were after be Chavez eheh above Qasim Albers so well Osmel Buzzelli says you can punish people through taking their financial by taking their finances now he then brings a poem which is known as a llama Luther C but he follows this up right now but with the words of the scholar I'll call the lady who has a commentary on that poem and he says woman after be he'll bore zuly mala la hypnagogia webinar after so even an octa
and hypnagogia are like contemporaries and slightly junior - Albert zuly and they they support him in this position rocketcat Ababa he less salt on and they write have written with his with his ruling to the ruler of the time mola I'm a diploma Hamid a Sharif a Susi what one as alum be worthy Cebu cobbler after the he leave us so once this is this ruler before he takes any way and he says wah
ha salut who the summary is unknown rather than be fat well Bursley and that he is pleased with this photo of Bursley and then he mentions an El Bulli wakati la human a certainly Bob the Ali wok-te be mastery Amiri a3 he that he mentions that contemporaries have highlighted how Bruce Lee debated this point before the king of his time now tell me how can Bruce Lee won't issue this fatwa for when there are no governments and this lawlessness and but he's debating it before the king trying to convince the
king of his time and he says hats a column on arthur ooh-hoo right so he says any debate he with somebody who disagrees with him and then he mentions for Amal L Amir I like holy he right now this the Emir had taken the position of Buzzelli then he mentions he took the position afterwards of this other person who kind of his name is even a Shama he opposes he's a Maliki as well opposes woozily facade on us and then people flipped le tomatillo
doodle by the NIA for going back to those who dude that they people there was chaos and he says work Hester I'll hold that there was huge chaos because of that was shut up frantic Allah Allah : Buzzelli then he went back to bruseles opinion who is this this is the king okay now then he mentions look what could eat dosa I fell : fatty Moussa alwas any right now sorry I just wanted because there's so much to quote but I just want to mention key
points right that kind of show what is going on right so just to to highlight because there was so much here there is also a point where he you have scholars like Alborz Uli ah sorry like City mayara you have even was any highlighting that look you can't deny that what Basel II is speaking about so if they mention he has the colonel boozell Athena Vasily he and even Rafa I
know can you say hallo Iraqis and they say that brutally quotes other scholars preceding him trying to show how they believe that you could violate the the financial sanctity of people based on reason so this is how he's and the whole discussion really is to do with s metal m1 the sanctity of wealth and you can't kind of violate that that was the that was the core issue of their time now check this out now waha salut whom are in the home an undercover table man so obviously some
scholars disagree and they Allah and not Helena check this is City Mahara highlighting illah and McCollum albertalli ma fruit on the Kalama parsley is to do with Mahmoud Oodle Imam what a mikuni even a comet an adult this is in the presence of an imam and his capacity to establish her dude what a general camel usnea Allah Allah Allah Allah her that this is based on the presence of an imam who is
fully capable of establishing that the older or whether you want to say the original rulings of the sharia then see the mayara disagrees himself and says that no militia Carnell or dual on her that doing this I feel he feels is changing the Shelly and that shouldn't be acceptable according to him now then al was Annie's highlighting amma in the ottoman imam or admit to mccune mean F comma Tilford udoit alaikum allah awj Lina he says as to if you had no Imam or
you had lawlessness for Allah Allah Allah this is obviously this is more deserving mineral-y Malwa atmos serger and so on and he goes on he goes on to say that that's obvious you know that he also mentions the cool - this is silly you've got was a nice saying Kaddish had leisure was a comfortable man hadith often feel that maybe this hadith supports what bore julia said about violating people's finances that man watch that there is a hadith of Prophet during warfare that non-budget - sorry
of mum budget to movie acidify harem el-medina for Hadassah lava if you saw anybody sorry not true dwarf a if you saw anybody violating the sanctity of Medina the sanctuary of Medina what by hunting because they're not allowed to hunt then whatever they have you can snatch it and confiscate it so this is showing that this is also an evidence okay now goes on to now he then quotes also CV and Laura be al fasi now see the al arabiya Farsi is also
very passionate about Abu Dhabi's fatwa but he does have the caveat he does have the stipulation in saying that oh this should be with his lawless not lawlessness but a weakness in Islam like we can't establish the older rulings then we definitely should stick with Bordelaise fatwa he also highlights this is also him who's arguing for this but with that stipulation he says Allah and nicolamawdsley mother udon noodle Imam what's amakuni him in otamatone do the Sharia y la cámara Ya Allah Asli huh same thing he's quoting it
again that he says except his position is he's reinforcing this is with an imam who is fully capable of enforcing the sharia now he says that this then he says that so if that's his position bruseles position and first he see the other al arabiya farsi comes a century or two after he's so he's after Albertson he says that he says well Mateus sorry well Muji's little roberta bill Malfi must Allah to him those like buzu Lee and even as a Jew and Hitler
after that those people who said that you can do it like that the javier mas allah in our opinion we're we're saying that ok you can do it with is a weakness in establishing Islam min Bobby hola aha that they should definitely agree with us because they're saying you can change the Sharia punishment codes anyway we're saying at least you can change it when Islam is weak so he goes on to highlight his his position so people you can see and this discussion then carries on for pages and pages it
carries only carries on now he's quoting other scholars other discussions that way you can take wealth and stuff like this now they keep going back to the point of home ribbon abdul-aziz that - totally nasty och dear makka dreamer artisanal food that rules will always continue to change once again he this is a cereal was Annie he says were cutter edge of the edge Warburton Mansu belly sashimi Jennifer even a NASA at the Rudi and that's obviously an old one juh weapon after Phoebe J was a
habitable man he says that that he shows that I've seen an old he says I've seen a fat one if the nasara da booty is classic call almost from in almost a thousand years ago where he also staple gives the but whether you can fight not to change the hood but you can violate financial kind of the wealth of people based on as a punishment and then L was then he goes on to say rocket can as a man who's a man a hodge forfeiting were to assume when al kaba ill and his time was obviously went through a lot of
civil unrest for insects ah hotness little Java Leahy then he says if this is valid for him it's because obviously you couldn't establish that kind of lawfulness in their time and then he mentions moon Inara activator other al-hakam Bavaria comma Pisa mannina Haase as is our day and age you can't kind of establish this either what I'm Michele about possible Bulls Uli check this out people he says what
am i abou Cozumel bully as to Bruce Lee at a job abhi chihuaha he has said this was permissible annal it lock unrestricted unrestricted this is so this now and then he says look he says he disagrees with Bruce Lee and I'm not saying he agrees with him although he accepts it if there was lawless and stuff like this but at least he's being honest he's being honest in what buzu Lee has said and he says what cars are at the Nassau aleyhi Dalek wat they
couldn't be read right and then check this out he says and I feel he deserved that refutation of not people saying oh he's lying and being personal against him but people refusing to accept so some people refuse to accept that ruling of his and said that the Sharia can change with the day and age and he says that look Allah and know that Allah lilja worse be a dealer Tim Yukino in Toronto Bobby huh PJ was he a man either al-hukum behavior except buzu Lee uses certain Fattah wa somebody's asking from
Serafino on malakian method which he says you can definitely use for in situations of lawlessness this is page 2 to 5 volume 10 of the nozzle algid either by serial was Ernie right now and then he says that you know if you want we've kind of gone over this so many times here and then he also says now look well if someone shares albertalli I'll call who Nabil Jo has been Bobby Allah so what we're saying Buddha surely would definitely agree with it member be out lights more deserving that he would agree with it so
and then he carries on this debate hasn't even ended yet it carries on it carries on like I mentioned and he's quoting chef mayara again and he's doing this now the reason I've brought all of that up is to show look I mean to what this allegation oh I've made this up that first of all I made up this scholar or saying things which he never said then okay they because they found some things he said they they couldn't deny that he said it but Oh Buddha Julie was
talking about when there was lawlessness and there was this no he wasn't sitting mayara was being transparent she was Ernie was being transparent these people were just being honest shares a lot of real fast he was being transparent these people who followed him which has been transferred look they even disagreed with him they even disagree somebody asking about where I've studied just check my bio in in Facebook in the About section I've covered it so many times now so what's happening is look let's be honest about
things let's be objective look I know it hurts you that these opinions have existed because it challenges your perspective of Islam but so what you don't have to accept what he's saying but don't lie like you what you're trying to do is you're trying to say I'm lying about him and oh I've misunderstood him I haven't misunderstood him yes do I look do I accept that some people may try to attribute that to him in trying to say
oh like try to justify that no I'm sure he may have meant it like this I accept that why would they do that some people may do that because he was such a great scholar he was called chef Elise lamb in his time now you see to them it may bother them and it because it disagrees with their views therefore they would they would give an interpretation to it oh I don't know if you really meant it like that maybe he meant it like this and I can I get that some people may have done that but these people have been very transparent chef was any chef a Larabee little fancy chef seedy mayara
they okay chef a lot of real Farsi and was any at least except with some caveats the whole discussion they say in situations of lawlessness but all three disagree with Bulls early in his absolute unrestricted nature of changing the who dude but they at least honest in saying this is what he said it's Alan o'clock he said it generally if not a Jew who was amazing an amazing scholar of his time and like slightly junior to albertalli and he has a summary of borderless photo as well he completely agrees with him
everyone look that completely agrees with him this was adopted by the king of the time this was also adopted by the Tunisian king of his time who in front of whom albertalli debates this issue with it neshama so I just wanted to highlight that look I haven't been misrepresenting al imam al-ghazali I've just been saying that this is now another point that is raised here is oh but what if brutally meant this for different reasons we know he's saying it should change in his damage but is he
saying it because of the ethics well look he's saying it very clearly that in this day and age it should change now you can any like you just simply trying to get into his mind and and you have the right to do that you can get into his mind and you can get into his mind and you can kind of try to say well I think he's doing this but that's simply your subjective position right you are obviously superimposing something upon him because it doesn't settle well with
your worldview I get that but that's not the way that you know that's not being objective that's not being independent or critical or being analytic that's just being very biased so I just wanted to highlight that because it's important that there were a lot of people trying to discredit what I had what I had kind of said in my video clip and they were saying that you see it doesn't bother me that they discredit me as in they disagree with me or they refute me or they do things but they were trying to say that I'm lying in what buzu Lee is
saying that I have no precedent in this and that is not true I do have precedent and Mammal brutally even a Jew and even octa and all these people were of that opinion so and there were a lot of people that asked me this they message me privately they sent me the link so there you go that gives that kind of response now so I want to finish that over there now
