XXIII.—THE LAW.
Muhammadan law consists of two divisions, Rawá and Nárawá, i.e., Things lawful and Things unlawful.
I.—That which is lawful is divided into five classes.
1. Farz.—That which has been enjoined in the Qurán.
2. Wájib.—That of which there is some doubt as to its Divine institution.
3. Sunnat.—The example of Muhammad, which consists of three kinds:—
Sunnat-i-Fʾilí.—That which Muhammad himself did.
Sunnat-i-Qaulí.—That which Muhammad said should be practised.
Sunnat-i-Taqrírí.—That which was done in the presence of Muhammad and which he did not forbid.
