Could you advise me regarding "bringing about benefits and warding off harms"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Bringing about benefits and averting harms is the foundation of the wise Sharia. When they conflict, averting harm takes precedence over bringing about benefit. If a matter involves both benefit and harm, and the benefit outweighs the harm, or the corruption is more remote, then the benefit is acted upon.
