Is excessive questioning about the wisdom behind Islamic legislation considered among the "excessive questioning" forbidden in the Prophetic Hadith?

There is no harm in asking about the wisdom behind legislation, as it increases a Muslim's certainty. The commands of the Sharia are divided into two parts: those whose wisdom is apparent, and those predominantly related to worship. No divine command is devoid of profound wisdom, and a Muslim submits to Allah's command even if the wisdom behind it is not apparent to him.

The prohibition against excessive questioning in the texts is understood to apply to questions that do not benefit the questioner, or that might lead to the prohibition of something, or questions about rare occurrences and unseen matters. The scholars have not mentioned that the prohibition includes asking about the wisdom behind divine law, except for what Al-Shatibi mentioned regarding the dislike of asking about the reason behind acts of worship that are not rationally comprehensible.

Investigating questions for which there is no textual basis is of two types: the required search for the meaning of the text, and delving into subtle distinctions that have no legal effect, or excessive elaboration on rare issues, or researching unseen matters. The Companions used to ask about practical matters that benefited them, not about hypothetical situations or complex issues.

It is disliked to ask about what does not benefit the questioner, or about what has not yet occurred and for which no ruling has been revealed, or about difficult issues, or about the reason behind acts of worship, or overly meticulous questioning, or questioning that opposes the Qur'an and Sunnah with personal opinion, or about ambiguous verses, or about what disputes arose among the early Muslims, or questioning out of obstinacy and seeking dominance. The degree of dislike varies among these situations.
