Chapter: Fornication does not make the lawful unlawful
Bayhaqi 13960 — Fornication does not make the lawful unlawful
قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: " لِأَنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَهُ لِحُرْمَةِ الْحَلَالِ، وَالْحَرَامُ خِلَافُ الْحَلَالِ " قَالَ: وَرُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا قَوْلُنَا.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Because Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, made it unlawful only on account of the sanctity of the lawful (relationship), and the unlawful (relationship) is the opposite of the lawful."
He said: "And our view has been narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both)."
He said: "And our view has been narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both)."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، أنبأ عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ، أنبأ سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْمَرَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " فِي رَجُلٍ زَنَى بِأُمِّ امْرَأَتِهِ، أَوْ بِابْنَتِهَا، فَإِنَّهُمَا حُرْمَتَانِ تَخَطَّاهُمَا، وَلَا يُحَرِّمُهَا ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ " قَالَ: وَقَالَ يَحْيَى بْنُ يَعْمَرَ: مَا حَرَّمَ حَرَامٌ حَلَالًا قَطُّ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ الشَّعْبِيَّ، فَقَالَ: بَلْ لَوْ أَخَذْتَ كُوزًا مِنْ خَمْرٍ، فَسَكَبْتَهُ فِي جُبٍّ مِنْ مَاءٍ لَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الْمَاءُ حَرَامًا، وَكَانَ مِنْ رَأْيِ الشَّعْبِيِّ أَنَّهَا قَدْ حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْهِ.
Yahya bin Ya'mar narrates from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning a man who committed zina with his wife's mother or her daughter: he has transgressed two sanctities, but his wife does not become unlawful to him. Yahya bin Ya'mar said: The unlawful never makes the lawful unlawful. This reached al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him), and he said: Rather, if I took a jug of wine and poured it into a cistern of water, that water would become unlawful. Al-Sha'bi's view was that she does become unlawful to him.
