Explanation of the denotation Laisa Minna (ليس منا Not From us) which is used in Ahadeeth. There are many Hadeeth which have this term like the hadeeth of Bukhari Whoever takes up arms against us, is not from us (Sahih Bukhari 7071) Now when we laymen read this hadeeth or any other which has this term interpret that the one who does these acts does not remain Muslim. Because the apparent meaning indicate towards it, while in reality its not like that rather this was the interpretation of Khawarij(Apostates). As Ibn Taymiyyah rahimahullah said وكذلك تفسير الخوارج والمعتزلة بأنه يخرج من الإيمان بالكلية ويستحق الخلود في النار تأويل منكر And likewise the interpretation of Khawarij and Mutazila (with the term Laisa Minna that the one who does it) is out of faith completely and deserves to be in hell forever then this is a rejected interpretation. (Majmoo al Fatwaa 7/525) Now the question If he remains Muslim then what does Not From us mean? and what is the ruling on act mentioned with it? Shaykh Hatim al Awni Hafidhahullah (Professor of Hadeeth at Umm al Qura university, Makkah) explains about this denotation and says.. The denotation Not From us is apparently ( البراءة)disavowal and absolute disavowal is only from Kufr(thats the reason khawarij deduced with it over their Takfeer) but a conditional disavowal from the one who believes in Allah and his Messenger apparently indicate towards prohibition(of the act mentioned) and a conditional disavowal over a thing which is not prohibited evince towards Makrooh Tanzeehi (dislike) or leaving a preferable act. To consider all the acts mentioned with this denotation to be prohibited is not correct either because it is has been used for other than prohibition too. For example the hadeeth of Saheeh Bukhari The one who does not recite Quran in a beautiful voice is Not From Us. (Sahih Bukhari 7527).From Ijmaa(consensus) of Scholars reciting Quran in beautiful voice is preferable not obligatory. So, here this denotation is used over leaving a preferable act and not prohibition. When this denotation comes for the things which are not prohibited then it is for urging not to leave preferable acts and the meaning of Not From us here will be Not Completely over our Sunnah or our methodology or our way.. So, this denotation comes for the things which is prohibited as well as those which are not prohibited so a muhaqqiq(researcher) stands in need to know that this probability has come in the meaning of this denotation before he rules anything as prohibited If it comes for those prohibition whose evil is clear or whose prohibition remains still (Likes taking up arms against muslims and likes of it) then it will be Haraam. If it is from the chapter of etiquette or from the things for which there is evidence of it being not prohibited (Like reciting Quran in beautiful voice) then it is not prohibited. end of Shayks explanation.. Shaykh Hatim explained this in one of his posts. This is not the complete translation and it is not in order too.. Those who know Arabic can benefit directly from his post..

We are not qualified for this.. This is the work of Scholars and not laymen refrain from it..
