Es el examen, la investigación o el análisis de la realidad de una cosa (asunto) para la cual ha llegado el Hukm. Es decir, para conocer (o comprender) su realidad y entender el alcance de la aplicabilidad del Hukm (cuyo Daleel es conocido) sobre ella.

It is the examination, investigation or looking at the reality of a thing (matter) that the Hukm has come for its sake. That is in order to know (or understand) its reality and to understand the extent of the applicability of the Hukm (the Daleel of which is known) upon it.

Por tanto, el Manāṭ y el Taḥqīq al-Manāṭ son ambos asuntos racionales y no shar'iyy.

Therefore, the Manaat and the Tahqeeq ul-Manaat are both rational matters and not Shar’iy.

Ejemplo:

Example:

El Khamr es Haram y es un Hukm Shar'iy al que guía el Daleel.

Al-Khamr is Haraam and it is a Hukm Shar’iy which the Daleel has guided to.

Verificar y determinar si una bebida es jamr o no, a fin de establecer el dictamen sobre su prohibición, es el tahqiq al-manat. Por ello, es necesario comprobar que la bebida sobre la que

Verifying and determining that a drink is Khamr or not, in order to bring the ruling in respect to it being Haraam or not, is the Tahqeeq ul-Manaat. So it is necessary to ascertain that the drink upon which 205

Consequently, if we wanted to know the Hukm of ‘Alcohol’ and whether it is permitted to consume it or not, then we have to examine the substance to see if it is Khamr or not? That would be by analysing it in a laboratory and acquiring knowledge of its components or ingredients and its effect upon the one who consumes it.

Por lo tanto, el Tahqeeq ul-Manaat es la investigación de la realidad sobre la cual se busca aplicar el Hukm Ash-Shar'iy. En esta investigación utilizamos el 'Aql (intelecto), la ciencia, el conocimiento científico, los expertos y los laboratorios, todos los cuales son asuntos no shar'iy.

The Tahqeeq ul-Manaat is therefore the investigation of the reality upon which the application of the Hukm Ash-Shar’iy is sought. In this investigation we utilise the ‘Aql (intellect), science, scientific knowledge, experts and laboratories, all of which are non Shar’iy matters.

Entonces, si descubrimos que el contenido del «alcohol» produce embriaguez, lo habríamos declarado Khamr, y el Khamr es haram, tal como dijo el Mensajero de Allah ﷺ:
