one’s private life. There should be no need to explain why such attempts at eliminating the Sharī’ah are Bātil, but considering the extent this doubt has reached and the lack of writings on this subject, this short thread should do justice in defending the Law of Allāh… (2)
from the evil plots of the enemies of Islām to kill the Īmān of the Muslimīn and subjugate the Ummah.

certain time unanimously agree upon a ruling, and thus makes the ruling binding upon the Muslimīn. The matters of Ijmā’ are reported by the ‘Ulamā after study and investigation. The evidence for the validity of Ijmā’ are when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “My ummah will… (13)
not unanimously agree on misguidance.” The following are evidence from Ijmā’ regarding the obligation of ruling by the Sharī’ah:

and that whoever adheres to that which the Tawrāt and Injīl brought and does not follow the Qur’ān is a Kāfir. Allāh has abrogated all the laws in the Tawrāt, Injīl and other nations, and He has made it obligatory upon the two races of the Jinn and mankind to adhere to the… (15)
laws of Islām. So, there is nothing forbidden except that which Islām forbids, and there is nothing obligatory except that which Islām enjoins. [Ahkām Ahlul-Thimmah]

consensus of the Muslims…” [Bidāyah wan-Nihāyah]
