His answer, in his own words
1:41:31
molana, agla sawal dilli se hai misster shah imran hasan sahib ka. unhon ne likha hai: "zarurat haram ko halal kar deti hai, is ka kya matlab hai?" aam tor par yeh samjha jata hai ke yeh sab mislan ek aadmi hai, bhooka hai, marne ke qareeb ho raha hai, khane ko kuch hai nahi, to us waqt is ko khinzir bhi khana ja jata hai.

is ke liye to is tarah ki sooraten hain. doosri is ko aap tausee kar sakte hain, aur doosri sooraton par haqeeqi zarurat agar hai, koi haqeeqi zarurat, yani khud sakhta tor par aap kisi ko zarurat samjhen, kisi cheez ko, woh matlab nahi hai. haqeeqi zarurat ya yeh kahein ke zarurat sharai.
1:42:22
agar zarurat sharai paida ho gayi ho to wahan par, yani bilashuba haram cheez bhi halal ho jaye gi waqti tor par. lekin is mein zarurat sharai shart lazim hai. bohat ziyada, yani bohat ziyada objective tor par aap ko jaiza lena hoga ke kya waqatan yahan zarurat

sharai paida ho gayi hai. jaise misaal ke tor par aata hai islamic zamane ke baaz waqiat ke ek sahabi ko maar peet rahe the, kaho ke lakh do ilah hai, uzza bhi ilah hai. to ab woh masla is ka tha ke ya to kaho ya marwao apne aap ko.
1:43:05
to yani maar se bachne ke liye unhon ne kaha jaye ke theek hai, jo tum karoge sach hai. to jaan ka khatra ho, is tarah ka zarurat sharai paida ho jaye to us waqt waqti tor par koi cheez jo haram ho, shariat ko halal ho jati hai.
1:43:27
lekin is ka taayun aadmi khud kar sakta hai ke waqai yeh zarurat sharai hai ke nahi hai. molana, agle sawal se pehle ek comment parhna chahenge jo doha, qatar se molana abdul basit tamri sahib ne likha hai. unhon ne likha hai ke molana, main bachpan se sunta aa raha tha ke insaan boodha ho jata

hai lekin soch hamesha jawan rehti hai, magar yeh maloom nahi tha ke aisa kyun hai. aaj aap ki taqreer se maloom hua ke asal rohani irtiqaa hai, hamara jismani irtiqaa nahin. is liye zehni irtiqaa par focus karna chahiye. maulana, aaj ki taqreer se zehni irtiqaa par focus karne ki jo soch thi, us soch mein halchal
