Summary
The qiyas of Iblis refers to any analogy that contradicts the scriptural texts and leads to violating God's rulings and commands. The term comes from Iblis refusing to prostrate to Prophet Adam, claiming fire, his origin, was nobler than clay. The ruling regards this reasoning as corrupt and invalid, while the qiyas of jurists that does not contradict the texts and meets the criteria agreed upon by scholars remains accepted.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pertama: Qiyas iblis adalah apa sahaja qiyas yang bercanggahan dengan nas.
