Assalaamu alaikum,
I apologize for the way I said that "copy and paste post" thing, but someone had just asked a question, and you had just posted that same thing. I have been looking on google, and found that Hanafi's definitely distinguish between what is fard and what is wajib. I have also found definitions of the words from hanbali fiqh. Wajib (obligatory) – Its linguistic meaning is: descending [as in: the sun begins its descent after noon], firmly rooted. Its legal meaning is: that which someone is censured for unconditionally neglecting. Fard (prescribed) – Its linguistic meaning is portioning, influencing, requiring, and a given share. Its legal meaning is that which is established via certain evidence, or: that which does not cease [being obligatory when omitted], intentionally or absentmindedly. Imam Ahmad said that it is that which the Qur’an requires. http://mac.abc.se/home/onesr/h/228.html I was simply wondering about the Arabic, not wanting an answer that they are the same. In no language is there two words that mean exactly the same thing. My husband is Arab, and when I asked him, he said he didn't know, so I asked here. I thought someone here might know a lot about the Arabic language. |
