Summary
Technically, nasakh is the lifting of a Shariah ruling by a later Shariah evidence. The evidence that lifts the ruling is called the nasikh, while the ruling that is lifted is called the mansukh. Nasakh is either explicit (sarih), stated in the text itself, or implicit (dhimni), where a later ruling contradicts an earlier one. The agreed conditions are that the abrogated item is a Shariah ruling, abrogation occurs through Shariah evidence, and the nasikh comes after the mansukh.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dari sudut istilah: Mengangkat hukum syarak dengan dalil syarak yang datang terkemudian darinya.
