us. As for the use of the outward form, it is neither for religion nor for creed, but rather for need and necessity only; for that which we do not need to use of these outward forms, we do not use, and there is no punishment for us in abandoning it, nor reward in doing it—so let him understand who can.
Allah has explained everything in detail and named it for us, so that we may know it with a clear and distinct knowledge in which there is no ambiguity, as a grace from Him—the Almighty—upon us, so that we do not use anything that harms us nor abandon anything that benefits us.
