The qualities of the true jurist
[AI] Shall I not inform you of the jurist who is truly a jurist? He is the one who does not cause people to despair of mercy, does not grant them license to commit acts of disobedience to Allah, and does not abandon the Quran out of desire for something else. There is no good in worship that contains no religious understanding, no good in jurisprudence that contains no comprehension—and in one wording: no scrupulousness—and no good in recitation that contains no reflection.
أَلَا أَنبئُكُم بالفقيهِ حَقَّ الفقيه؟ مَنْ لَمْ يُقْنطِ النَّاسَ مِنْ رَحْمةٍ، ولَمْ يُرَخِّصْ لَهُمْ فِى مَعَاصِى الله، وَلَمْ يتركِ الْقُرْآنَ رغبةً عَنهُ إِلَى غيره، ولَا خَيْرَ فِى عبادةٍ لَيْسَ فيها تَفَقُّهٌ، ولَا خيرَ فِى فِقْهٍ لَيْسَ فيهِ تفهمٌ، وفِى لفظ: لَا وَرَعَ فِيه، ولَا خْيرَ فِى قراءةٍ لَيْسَ فيها تَدَبُّرٌ.
