Eighteenth: Leaving Matters that Does not Concern One

He, peace and blessings be upon him and his progeny, said: ((It is from the righteous of the Islam for a person to leave what does not concern him)).

Know that all of what the human does and intends is not free from one of five matters: obligatory, praiseworthy, permissible, blameworthy, and forbidden.

• The forbidden must be avoided at all times.
• The blameworthy must be avoided, if possible, like eating with his left hand.
• The permissible; if it is not needed, then one should not be preoccupied with it and to waste the time by doing it. And what was done from it, is done to bring a benefit or to prevent a harm, then it has to be done exactly with the clear intention of the requested purpose and to avoid reaching the limit of the praiseworthy. Consequently, there is no permissible except that it is turned and changed to an act of closeness and the good intention must be kept, as is previously mentioned.
• Regarding the obligation, there is no debate that it must be done at all times.
• Regarding the praiseworthy, it should be done in any case. It is what is important to the human, as this conclusion is done, it is now easy to leave what does not concern one.
