Batutuwan da suka shiga cikin shawara (Shura) ana yanke su ne bisa ra'ayin mafi yawa, ba tare da la'akari da ko ra'ayin daidai ne ko ba daidai ba ne. Amma duk sauran batutuwan da suka shiga cikin Shura, ana neman ra'ayin da yake daidai ba tare da duba mafi yawa ko mafi karanci ba.

The issues which fall under consultation (Shura) are decided by the opinion of the majority without considering whether it is correct or incorrect. As for any other issues which fall under Shura, the correct opinion is sought without any consideration given to the majority or minority.

Shaidar wannan ita ce ayyukan Manzon Allah (ﷺ), domin a Yakin Uhudu ya karɓi ra'ayin mafi yawan mutane, yayin da a Yakin Badar ya karɓi ra'ayin Al-Hubab Bin Al-Munthir ya bar nasa ra'ayin, bai kuma koma ga ra'ayin mafi yawa ba. A Yarjejeniyar Hudaibiyya kuma ya riƙe ra'ayinsa shi kaɗai, bai kula da ra'ayoyin Abu Bakr (ra) da Umar (ra) ba. A gaskiya ma, bai kula da ra'ayin dukkan Musulmai ba, kuma ya tilasta musu su bi ra'ayinsa duk da cewa suna ƙin hakan. Don haka idan aka kwatanta waɗannan ayyuka guda uku da maganganun Manzon Allah (ﷺ) zuwa ga Abu Bakr (ra) da Umar (ra),

The evidence for this is the actions of the Messenger (pbuh) , since in the Battle of Uhud he took the opinion of the majority, while in the Battle of Badr he (pbuh) took the opinion of Al-Hubab Bin Al-Munthir and left his own opinion, and did not refer to the opinion of the majority. In the Expedition of Hudaybiyah he held onto his own opinion alone and paid no attention to the opinions of Abu Bakr (ra) and Umar (ra). In fact, he did not pay attention to the opinion of all the Muslims, and forced them to abide by his opinion even though they hated it. So if these three actions are compared with the words of the Messenger (pbuh) to Abu Bakr (ra) and Umar (ra),

. » لَوِ اجْ تَمَعْ تُمَا فِي مَشُورَةٍ مَا خَالَفْ تُكُمَا « .

. » لَوِ اجْ تَمَعْ تُمَا فِي مَشُورَةٍ مَا خَالَفْ تُكُمَا « .

"Idan ku biyun kun amince a cikin Mashura, ba zan saba muku ba" (Ahmad ne ya ruwaito shi), da kuma maganar Allah (SWT).

“If the two of you agree in Mashura I will not differ with you” (reported by Ahmad), and with the words of Allah (swt).

"Kuma ka tuntube su a cikin al'amarin." (TMQ 3:159) da.

“And consult them in the matter.” (TMQ 3:159) and.

“Kuma al'amarinsu shawara ce a tsakaninsu.” (TMQ 42:38), sannan bayanin ma'anar ayoyin biyu da hadisin shi ne cewa duk abin da yake kama da yanayin al-Hudaybiyah, wato inda hukuncin Shari'a yake bayyane, to yana cikin ikon Khalifa ya aiwatar da shi, kuma shawara a cikin al'amarin ba ta zama wajibi ba. Duk abin da yake kama da yanayin Badr, inda al'amarin yake bukatar basira da tunani, ko inda gabatar da ra'ayi ya kasance a cikin al'amari na kwararru, to ana neman ra'ayi mai gaskiya ba tare da la'akari da ko ra'ayin mafi rinjaye ne ko na mutum guda ba. Duk abin da yake kama da yanayin Uhud, wato ra'ayi game da ayyuka, to ana bin ra'ayin mafi rinjaye; wannan shi ne abin da ya shiga karkashin rukunin "Mashuwara", da ma'anar kalmomin Annabi ﷺ zuwa ga Abu Bakr (ra) da Umar (ra).

“And whose affair is [determined by] consultation among themselves.” (TMQ 42:38), then the explanation of the meaning of the two verses and the narration is that whatever is like the example of the situation of Al-Hudaybiyah, which is where the Shari’ah rule is apparent, then it is of the power of the Khalifah to act upon it, and Shura in the issue is not binding. Whatever is similar to the situation of Badr, where the issue requires insight and thought, or where the proposing of an opinion was in a specialist issue, then the correct opinion is sought without any consideration for whether it was the opinion of the majority or of a single person. And whatever is similar to the situation of Uhud, which is the opinion regarding actions, then the opinion of the majority is followed; this is what falls under the category of “Mashurah” and the meaning of the words of the Prophet (phuh) (saw) to Abu Bakr (ra) and Umar (ra).

. » لَوِ اجْ تَمَعْ تُمَا فِي مَشُورَةٍ مَا خَالَفْ تُكُمَا « .

. » لَوِ اجْ تَمَعْ تُمَا فِي مَشُورَةٍ مَا خَالَفْ تُكُمَا « .

"Idan ku biyu kun yarda a kan wani al'amari da nake tuntubarku a kansa (Mashura), ba zan saba muku ba" (Ahmad ne ya ruwaito shi).

“If the two of you agree on an issue I consult you on (Mashura) I will not differ with you” (reported by Ahmad).
