Can it be said 'there <strong>is</strong> no Inkaar in <strong>is</strong>sues of Khilaaf'<br />
with regards to the <strong>is</strong>sue of l<strong>is</strong>tening to music and<br />
unveiling of a woman's face<br />
In h<strong>is</strong> lecture, 'al-Fatwa bayna mutabiqati ash-Shar' wa-Masaairati al-<br />
(قاعدة) Ahwa', Shaikh Saleh Aal-Shaikh highlighted two essential Principles<br />
related to the subject of Ijtihad (i.e., deducing rulings from the texts of<br />
the Qur'an and the Sunnah). The first Principle being;<br />
لا اجتهاد مع النص<br />
No Ijtihad in the presence of<br />
Nas (lit. text, i.e., text of the Qur'an and the Sunnah).<br />

Shaikh Saleh aal-Shaikh then explained the principle, "No Inkaar in <strong>is</strong>sues<br />
of Ijtihad", and also clarified the falsity of the principle, 'No Inkaar in<br />
<strong>is</strong>sues of Khilaf' with beneficial examples, one amongst which, <strong>is</strong> the<br />
<strong>is</strong>sue of l<strong>is</strong>tening to musical instruments and unveiling of a woman's<br />
face. The Shaikh says,<br />
