It has to be bitareeqil isti’laa.

Someone with high authority dictates or commands those of lower authority.

The general usul in hanafi fiqh is al amru lilwujoob, a commandment is to be compulsory.

A commandment can come in different types. We’re going to cover a few examples below.

Is the amr limited?

There are two types of amr:

  1. Mutlaq (unlimited) bil waqt: you just have to do it once in your lifetime e.g. Hajj
  2. Muqayyid (limited) bil waqt: it has to be done within a specific timeframe e.g. Salaah

Can amr be limited to time and place?

Yes, for example, Hajj. Or for a sacrifice for a major mistake done during hajj, must only be done within the haram.

Fulfilling commandments

Adaa

Translation: performance Instruction by shari’ah to fulfill something at its correct time.

Example

You perform fajr salah in its fajr time, this is called adaa

Adaa has two types:

  1. Kamil: in the best form
  2. Qasir: minimum

The highest form of adaa of salah is adaa with jama’ah, this is adaa kamil.

Qasir would be, outside of jama’ah

Qadaa

The instruction to be fulfilled but the way it was meant to be fulfilled, it was not

In both cases, it was wajib
