The Adillah (evidences) Of Those Who Do Not Adopt Al-masaaalih Al-mursalah
1 – The Maslahah that does not have a specific (Khaass) Daleel for it from the Shar’a represents a kind of relish and desire. Al-Ghazaaliy said: “We know definitely (Qat’an) that the ‘Aalim should not judge by his desire and appetite without paying regard to the indications of the Adillah (evidences). Al-Istihsaan without looking into the Adilllah of the Shar’a represents passing a judgement by the desire alone (or purely)” and in respect to Al-Masaalih Al-Mursalah he said: “And if the Shaari’ does provided evidence for it then it is like the Istihsaan”.
2 – If the Masaalih are Mu’tabarah (considered) then they enter into the generalness (‘Umoom) of Al-Qiyaas and if they are not Mu’tabarah then they are not included within it. In addition, it is not valid to claim that there are considered Masaalih in which there is no text or Qiyaas because that implies that the Shar’iyah texts are deficient and incomplete which is a negation of the Qawl of Allah Ta’Aalaa:
Today I have completed your Deen for you and have perfected by favour upon you and have chosen for you Islaam as a Deen (Al-Maa’idah 3).
And negates His speech Ta’Aalaa:
And We have sent down to you the Book as clarification for all things and as guidance and mercy and good tidings for the Muslims ().
