Naskh ro'y berishi uchun quyidagi uchta shart bajarilgan bo'lishi kerak:

For naskh to have taken place, the following three conditions must have been fulfilled:

1. Almashtirilgan hukm ilohiy hukm bo'lishi kerak. Bu shuni anglatadiki, spirtli ichimliklarni bosqichma-bosqich taqiqlash naskh deb hisoblanmaydi, chunki har bir keyingi oyat oldingi oyatning taqiq doirasini faqat kengaytirgan. Odamlarning dastlabki xatti-harakati spirtli ichimlikni halol deb hisoblashlari edi. Bu masalada uchta oyat bilan bosqichma-bosqich bekor qilingan narsa odamlarning spirtli ichimlik halol, deb taxmin qilishi edi, Allohning ichimlik halol ekanligi haqidagi biror avvalgi bayoni emas.

1. The law which has been replaced has to have been a divine law. This means that the gradual prohibition of alcohol would not be classified as naskh, because each successive verse only expanded the prohibitive scope of the previous verse. The original behavior of the people was to act as if alcohol was lawful. It was their assumption that alcohol was permissible that was gradually abolished by the three verses on this subject, not any previous statement by Allaah that liquor was permissible.

2. Eski hukmni bekor qilish uchun ishlatiladigan dalil ilohiy buyruq bo‘lishi kerak, va u eski hukm nozil bo‘lganidan keyin nozil qilingan bo‘lishi lozim.

2. The proof used to replace the old law has to be a divine command which was revealed after the revelation of the old law.

3. Hukm, ya'ni almashtirilishi kerak bo'lgan qonun, vahiy nozil bo'lgan paytdan boshlab aniq vaqt chegarasiga ega bo'lishi mumkin emas. Agar qonunning cheklangan vaqt muddati bo'lsa, u muddat tugaganda shunchaki bekor bo'ladi va bunday jarayon naskh deb hisoblanmaydi. Masalan, Ramazon oyida har kuni quyosh botguncha ro'za tutish talab qilinadi.

3. The law which is to be replaced cannot have a specific time limit attached to it from the time of its revelation. If it has a limited time period, it simply becomes void when the time period ends, and such a process is not considered as naskh. For instance, fasting is required daily until sunset during Ramadaan.

Ramazon oyida kechasi ovqatlanish ruxsati yoki undan keyin, kunduzi yoki kechasi ovqatlanish ruxsati naskh (bekor qilish) bilan bog'liq emas. 20

The permission to eat at night during Ramadaan or, after it is over, by day or night, doesn’t involve naskh. 20

Shuni ta'kidlash kerakki, nasx faqat ilohiy amrlar va taqiqlarga nisbatan sodir bo'ladi. Nasx xabar berish mazmunidagi gaplarga nisbatan sodir bo'lmaydi, chunki bunday gaplar yo rost, yo yolg'on bo'ladi. Shu sababli oldingi xabar nasx qilindi, deyish aslida u yolg'on yoki xato bo'lgan, deyish demakdir, bunday narsani esa Allohga nisbat berish mumkin emas. Demak, Allohning sifatlarini bayon qilish, oldingi payg'ambarlar va ularning qavmlari haqidagi hikoyalar, masallar hamda oxirat ta'riflari nasx toifasidan chiqariladi. Xuddi shuningdek, ilohiy va'd hamda vaidlar ham nasxga kirmaydi, chunki Alloh va'dasiga xilof qilmaydi. Agar Alloh avvalgi oyatda mo'minlarga jannatdagi bog'larni va'da qilib, keyingi oyatda Uni ko'rish baxtini va'da qilsa, bu nasx bo'lmaydi; bog'lar haqidagi va'da Allohni ko'rish va'dasi bilan almashtirilmagan, balki ikkisi ham amalga oshadi. Shuni ham unutmaslik kerakki, ibodat va axloqiy xulqning asosiy tamoyillari asrlar davomida o'zgarmagan. Namoz, ro'za, zakot va haj Alloh dinining doimiy amallari bo'lib kelgan, qaysi payg'ambar xabar yetkazgan bo'lishidan qat'i nazar. Yolg'on gapirish, qotillik, zino, aldash va boshqalar esa barcha payg'ambarlar tomonidan qoralangan. Shuning uchun nasx amal qiladigan soha diniy amalning shakli yoki ijtimoiy qonunning tafsilotlari bo'lib, asosiy tamoyillar bu sohaga kirmaydi.

It should be noted that naskh only occurs to divine commands and prohibitions. Naskh cannot occur to statements of fact, because such statements are either true or false, so to say that a previous report has been abrogated really means it was either a deliberate lie or an error, both of which may not be attributed to Allaah.21 Therefore, descriptions of Allaah’s attributes, the stories of the previous prophets and their peoples, parables and descriptions of the hereafter are all excluded from the category of naskh. Likewise, the divine promises and warnings are excluded, because Allaah doesn’t break His promises. Nor could one call it naskh if Allaah promises the believers gardens in paradise in an early verse and in a later verse promises them the pleasure of seeing Him. The promise of gardens has not been replaced by the promise of seeing Allaah; rather, both will happen. 22 It should also be noted that the underlying principles of worship and moral behavior have not changed through the ages. Salaah, fasting, charity and pilgrim-age have been constant practices of Allaah’s religion—no matter which prophet was delivering the message—and lying, murder, adultery, cheating, etc. have been condemned by all the prophets. Therefore, the area in which naskh operates is in details of the format of a religious practice or a social law, not in the core principles.
