Ni uchunguzi, kuchunguza au kutazama hakika ya jambo (suala) ambalo hukumu imekuja kwa ajili yake. Yaani, ili kujua (au kuelewa) hakika yake, na kuelewa upeo wa kutumika kwa hukumu (ambayo dalili yake inajulikana) juu yake.

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.

Kwa hiyo, al-Manaat na Tahqeeq ul-Manaat zote mbili ni mambo ya kiakili na si ya Shar'iy.

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

Mfano:

Example:

Al-Khamr ni Haraam, nalo ni hukmu ya Shar'i ambayo dalili imeiongoza.

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

Kuthibitisha na kubainisha kama kinywaji fulani ni Khamr au si Khamr, ili kutoa hukumu kuhusu kama kinaharamishwa au la, ni jambo linaloitwa Tahqeeq ul-Manaat. Kwa hiyo ni lazima kuthibitisha kwamba kinywaji kinachohusika 205

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

Unahitaji kutoa hukumu kuhusu khamr ili kuweza kutangaza kwamba ni haramu.

you want to provide a ruling for is Khamr in order for you to be able to pronounce that it is Haraam.

Kwa hiyo, ikiwa tunataka kujua Hukm ya 'Alkoholi' na kama ni halali kuinywa au la, basi ni lazima tuchunguze dutu hiyo ili kuona kama ni Khamr au la? Hilo lingefanywa kwa kuichambua katika maabara na kupata maarifa kuhusu vipengele vyake au viambato vyake na athari yake kwa mtu anayeinywa.

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.

Tahqeeq ul-Manaat ni kwa hiyo uchunguzi wa uhalisia ambao hukumu ya Shar'iy inatakiwa kutumika juu yake. Katika uchunguzi huu tunatumia 'Aql (akili), sayansi, maarifa ya kisayansi, wataalamu na maabara, ambayo yote hayo ni mambo yasiyo ya 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.

Kisha, ikiwa tungegundua kuwa vilivyomo ndani ya 'Alcohol' husababisha ulevi, basi tungekuwa tumeshaitangaza kuwa ni Khamr, na Khamr ni Haramu kama Mtume wa Allah ﷺ alivyosema:

Then if we found that the contents of ‘Alcohol’ cause intoxication we would then have declared it to be Khamr and Khamr is Haraam as the Messenger of Allah (saw) said:
