Benefits and Issues:

➊ The foundation of jurisprudence (fiqh) is the Prophetic hadith. Any ijtihad (independent reasoning) that is not based on the Qur’an and hadith is not reliable.

➋ Scholarly matters should be conveyed to others.

➌ One should acquire religious knowledge even from a person who, apparently, is lesser in knowledge, age, or status. Sometimes, such a person may provide an academic point that is not found even with the great scholars.

➍ There is no limit to knowledge and understanding (tafaqquh). It is possible that someone who comes later may comprehend an ijtihadi or scholarly point to which the attention of earlier great scholars was not drawn.

➎ The heart of a believer does not betray; this means that a believer strives to perform these three deeds in the best possible manner and does not fall short.

➏ The requirement of a believer’s goodwill towards another believer is that he should not pray only for himself, but also for others—whether they are friends or relatives, strangers, fellow countrymen, or residents of other regions.

➐ Whoever prays for others also receives the prayers of others. (See also Benefits and Issues: Hadith: 230)
