misguided are not to be followed, and following of their mistakes is to be
forbidden.
So, the Sharee'ah came for bringing al-MasaaleH and its completion, and
for averting the Mafaasid and decreasing it, and this agreed upon
principle has a great impact. And this principle should effect the fatawa

in stages, all His rulings in general; the prohibition of alcohol was sent in

that it is prohibited in Islam, but all of it was not levied at one time due
to consideration for bringing al-Masaaleh and averting al-Mafaasid.
