إذَا رَفَعَ المُوسَى المُذَكِّي ضَرُورَةً

إذَا رَفَعَ المُوسَى المُذَكِّي ضَرُورَةً

أُبِيحَت لَديهم مُطلَقاً لاِضطِرَارِهِ

أُبِيحَت لَديهم مُطلَقاً لاِضطِرَارِهِ

If the ritual slaughterer lifts the razor out of necessity,

When the slaughterer raises the blade out of necessity

It is deemed lawful by them unconditionally, owing to his necessity.

It is permitted for them unconditionally due to his coercion

وَإِن يَكُ مُختَاراً وَطَالت فَمَيتَةٌ

وَإِن يَكُ مُختَاراً وَطَالت فَمَيتَةٌ

لِتَقصِيرِهِ في رَفعِهِ وبِدَارِهِ

لِتَقصِيرِهِ في رَفعِهِ وبِدَارِهِ

But if he acts by choice and the pause is prolonged, it is carrion,

And if he is willful and it is prolonged, it is carrion

Because of his negligence in lifting it and in promptly resuming.

Due to his negligence in raising it and in his abode

وإن رَدَّ عَن قُربٍ فَالأقَوالُ خَمسَةٌ

وإن رَدَّ عَن قُربٍ فَالأقَوالُ خَمسَةٌ

فَالأكلُ بِإطلاَقٍ لَهُ ولِجَارِهِ

فَالأكلُ بِإطلاَقٍ لَهُ ولِجَارِهِ

And if he returns it shortly afterward, there are five opinions:

And if he refrains from closeness, there are five sayings

Eating it is allowed without restriction, for him and his neighbor,

Eating it is permissible for him and his neighbor

سَوَاءً تَوَخَّى الرِّفعَ جَرّاً يَقَينِهِ

سَوَاءً تَوَخَّى الرِّفعَ جَرّاً يَقَينِهِ

تَمَام ذَكَاةِ الذِّبحِ أو لاختِيَارِهِ

تَمَام ذَكَاةِ الذِّبحِ أو لاختِيَارِهِ

Whether he intended the lifting because of his certainty

Equally, whether he intended to raise it by compulsion or certainty

That the animal's ritual slaughter was complete, or by his own choice.

Completing the slaughter of the sacrifice or by his choice

وذَا عَكسُهُ قَولٌ وَلَم أرَ قَائِلاً

وذَا عَكسُهُ قَولٌ وَلَم أرَ قَائِلاً

بِتَضعِيفِهِ عَنهُ وَلاَ بِإشتِهَارِهِ

بِتَضعِيفِهِ عَنهُ وَلاَ بِإشتِهَارِهِ

And the opposite of this is a view; I have seen no one

And its opposite saying, but I did not see a proponent

Report from him that it is weak, or that it is widely held.

Weakening it from him, nor by its publication

وَثَالِثُهَا التَّفصِيلُ والأَكلُ لَم يُقَل

وَثَالِثُهَا التَّفصِيلُ والأَكلُ لَم يُقَل

إِذَا الرَّفعُ بِإختِيَارِهِ غَيرَ كَارِهِ

إِذَا الرَّفعُ بِإختِيَارِهِ غَيرَ كَارِهِ

The third distinguishes cases: eating it is not sanctioned

And the third is detailing, and eating was not said

If he lifts it by his own choice, without reluctance.

When raising it by his choice not coerced

وإن يَكُ إتمَامُ الذَّكَاةِ يَقِينَهُ

وإن يَكُ إتمَامُ الذَّكَاةِ يَقِينَهُ

لَدَى رَفعِهِ حلَّت لَهُ لاِغتِرَارِهِ

لَدَى رَفعِهِ حلَّت لَهُ لاِغتِرَارِهِ

But if he was certain the ritual slaughter was complete

And if it is completing the slaughter certainly

When he lifted it, it is lawful for him because of his mistaken confidence.

When raising it, it is permitted for him not fooled

وَرَابِعُهَا عَكسُ الأخِيرِ وخَامِسٌ

وَرَابِعُهَا عَكسُ الأخِيرِ وخَامِسٌ

تَبَيَّنَ مِنهُ الكُرهُ عِندَ اختِيَارِهِ

تَبَيَّنَ مِنهُ الكُرهُ عِندَ اختِيَارِهِ

The fourth reverses the last; a fifth

And fourth is opposite the latter, and fifth

Makes clear that it is disliked when he acts by choice.

His dislike at the time of his choice became clear

فَذَا لاَحِبُ الحَبرِ التَّنَائِي مُلتَقَى

فَذَا لاَحِبُ الحَبرِ التَّنَائِي مُلتَقَى

شُوارِدِ عِلمِ الفِقهِ فُلكِ بِحَارِهِ

شُوارِدِ عِلمِ الفِقهِ فُلكِ بِحَارِهِ

So this is the clear path of the scholar al-Tanāʾī, the meeting place

So this beloved scholar Al-Tana'i is the confluence

Of jurisprudence's scattered insights, the ship of its seas.

Of the disciplines of jurisprudential knowledge and its sea

فَلا حِبُهُ يُهدِي الحَيَارَى مَنَارُهُ

فَلا حِبُهُ يُهدِي الحَيَارَى مَنَارُهُ

وَكَم لاحِبٍ لاَ يُهتَدَى بِمَنَارِهِ

وَكَم لاحِبٍ لاَ يُهتَدَى بِمَنَارِهِ

So the beacon of his clear path guides the bewildered,

For his love does not guide the perplexed, his lighthouse

Yet many a clear path has a beacon that affords no guidance.

And how many loves do not guide by their lighthouse
