Kutekeleza wajibu wa kibinafsi kuna vipaumbele vya Kishari'a. Muislamu anapoweza kutekeleza wajibu wake wote wa kibinafsi na wa kijamii, hilo ndilo linalotakiwa, na hana tatizo. Hata hivyo, endapo mgongano wowote utatokea, basi kutekeleza wajibu wa kibinafsi kunatangulizwa mbele ya wajibu wa kijamii. Iwapo mgongano utatokea kati ya wajibu wa kibinafsi wenyewe kwa wenyewe, basi ni Shari'a, si akili, ndiyo iliyoweka kipaumbele cha baadhi juu ya nyingine. Hivyo, kutoa nafaqa (matumizi) kwa familia kunatangulizwa mbele ya kulipa deni, na kulipa deni kunatangulizwa mbele ya kulipia Hijja. Kufunga Ramadhani kunatangulizwa mbele ya funga ya nadhiri. Swala ya Ijumaa inatangulizwa mbele ya kutimiza ahadi, na kadhalika. Iwapo mgongano utatokea kati ya wajibu wa kijamii pale ambapo zote haziwezi kutekelezwa, basi tena ni Shari'a, si akili, ndiyo iliyoweka kipaumbele cha baadhi juu ya nyingine. Hapa uwanja ni mpana na mgumu. Hii ni kwa sababu wajibu wa kijamii ni mwingi; baadhi yake ni mgumu na wa gharama kubwa, huku mengine yakihitaji juhudi kubwa na muda.

Undertaking the individual obligations has Shar’ee priorities.When the Muslim is able to do all his individual and collective obligations, then this is what is required, and he has no problems. However, if any clash occurs, then performing the individual obligations takes priority over the collective obligations. If a clash occurs between the individual obligations, then it will be the Shar’a, and not the mind, which laid down the priority for some over others. Thus, the providing of nafaqa (maintenance) for the family takes precedence over payment of debt, and the payment of debt takes precedence over paying for the Hajj. The fasting of Ramadan takes precedence over the fast of nadhr (solemn promise). The Jum’ah prayer takes precedence over keeping one’s promise and so on and so forth. If a clash occurs between the collective obligations where they cannot all be established, then again the Shar’a, and not the mind, laid down the priority of some over others. Here the field is wide and complicated. This is because there are many collective obligations; some are difficult and very costly, while others require great effort and time.
