As aprovações legislativas (Ahkaam) encontradas naquelas Sharee'ahs (Sharaa'i) que vieram antes da nossa Sharee'ah são de quatro tipos:

The legislative Ahkaam (rulings) found in those Sharee’ahs (Sharaa’i) that came previously to our Sharee’ah are of four types:

1 – Aquilo que se encontra (ou é mencionado) na nossa Sharee'ah e que foi tornado Fard ou Sunnah para nós, assim como havia sido tornado Fard ou Sunnah para as nações anteriores. Quando tomamos Ahkaam deste modo, fazemo-lo apenas porque foram mencionados na nossa Sharee'ah, e não porque se encontravam na Sharee'ah daqueles que nos precederam.

1 – That which is found (or mentioned) within our Sharee’ah and was made Fard or Sunnah upon us just as it had been made Fard or Sunnah upon the previous nations. When we take Ahkaam like this we only do so because they have been mentioned within our Sharee’ah and not because they were found within the Sharee’ah of those who preceded us.
