Cutting Through the Dispute in the Case of Awlad Al-Hajj

Abstract

  The author of this manuscript provided a ruling on the case, stating that the reconciliation   in question does not obligate the one who has been acquitted Then he established evidence against those who disagree with him by verifying that this reconciliation is a commitment that is not legally binding on the acquitted party highlighting  that the jurisprudential rule (Committing to something that is not obligatory is not obligatory) applies to this case and that this maxim is consistently applies in various jurisprudential branches, as it represents a prevalent ruling. The author also pointed out that inheritance laws are an exception; as it is difficult to encompass all the aspects of it, and the general rule in Islamic jurisprudence is that hardship brings about facilitation Furthermore, the author discusses several issues related to the case, providing valuable insights.
