Abstract

Praise be to Allah, we praise Him and seek His help and forgiveness, and we seek refuge in Allah from the evils of ourselves and from the evils of our deeds, whoever is guided by Allah is not misled by Him, and whoever is misled is not guided by Him, and I testify that there is no god but Allah alone who has no partner, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger - may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him - but after: The law expects every person to use a right in good faith, because the owner of the right, when his intention worsens, deviates him from the wisdom of his report, and thus, away from the circle of permissibility, But it is not always easy to assert from a situation that it is good or bad, and this difficulty arises not only from the fact that intention is hidden in the depths of the soul that no creature knows except its owner, but because external relations, although available, may not be sufficient to prove what the soul implies, as the truth - and in the face of this the law is forced to be content with the appearance of an inability to reach the truth of the secrets.
