Prostration of the face is like life, and since life necessitates honor and glory for itself over all other attributes and names, because these attributes in their existence are conditional upon the existence of life, honor and life were linked as one thing, like the connection of the forehead and nose in their being one bone, even if they are The picture is different.

And with the existence of these seven, then the order of the world, and its fulfillment was desired, and there remained in possibility the reality of possibility that required something in addition to these seven, for there is nothing more creative in possibility than this world, because there is nothing in existence more perfect than the Truth and His perfection in His divinity with these attributes attributed to Him, Glory be to Him, so if a single attribute were not present.

I want to give a principle in this matter that is applicable to all issues of Sharia law, so we say that if the legislator uses a certain expression, he interprets that expression as what is understood by the terminology in the Arabic language, until the legislator assigns that expression with a special description that takes it out of the meaning of the tongue with that description. If the legislator specifies what he intended with that word, then that description becomes essentially that word. Whenever the word is mentioned by the legislator, it is assumed to be understood by the law until another piece of evidence from the law or from circumstantial evidence indicates that he means by that word the word that is understood by him in the language, or another specific matter.

If the Sharia assigns it to a specific form that takes it out of what is understood from it on the tongue and is spoken, then we stopped at it and know that that form is the one that was forbidden.

It was narrated on the authority of Ibn Umar that he used to do that because he
