22) Hanafi Fiqh Principles
A Sabab (Cause) Is Sometimes The Result Of A Musabbab
Just as the musabbab gives rise to the sabab, sometimes the
converse is true. Just as it sometimes occurs in the sensory
perceptions.
Is Nafa` Laazim (Necessary Benefit) Better Or Nafa` Muta`Addi (Causative Benefit)?
Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) used to sometimes execute some things as a means of explaining/teaching. This may appear to be an act of riya (show), but in reality it was not. A nafa` muta`addi is more virtuous than a nafa` laazim, because for islaah (reformation) this is a preferred method that whatever work one wishes someone else to do, it is best to do it oneself (as a demonstration and encouragement). [Hasnul Azeez, page 161, vol. 2]
Nafa` muta`addi is more virtuous than nafa` laazim. This will apply to a person who is complete with a nafa` laazim, and thereafter wishes to get engaged in a nafa` muta`addi. In this way there will be no interference in his nafa` laazim. For example, teaching will be preferable for that person who is complete with his own studies/ learning. The virtue of nafa` muta`addi is owing to the fact that it is done through the medium of a nafa` laazim. This is the reason why if a nafa` muta`addi is not done hoping on a nafa` laazim to be a medium, then the nafa` muta`addi should be abandoned. The actual and true maqsad (objective) is a nafa` laazim and the nafa` muta`addi is not an objective in itself, in fact, it is a means of the objective. [Anfaas Isa, page 318, vol. 1]
