This is especially so given that there is no contradiction between the intellect and Sharia, and that the conventions of the Wise One are grounded in reality. Rather, attributing status to something that does not truly exist is considered lying—like attributing darkness to the day and light to the night—while lying is impossible for Allah; as He has said: ﴿وَمَنْ أَصْدَقُ مِنَ اللَّهِ حَدِيثًا[1]; “And who is more truthful than Allah.” Moreover, Sharia has the power to legislate something it has itself nullified, but not the power to legislate something that the intellect has nullified; because legislating something that has been nullified by a cause is reasonable only by that same cause, and not permissible by another. Similarly, among intellectuals, a ruling established by an official can be specified only by that same official, and its specification by another is not acceptable. This is while the absolute nullification of the authority of conjecture has been established by the intellect; because its lack of authority means its inability to reveal reality—which is among the rational and real matters, not subject to conventional validation, and therefore beyond the reach of Sharia. Therefore, Sharia is unable to intervene in or alter it. From here, it is understood that the belief of some Muslims in the religious authority of specific conjecture—namely, conjecture derived from solitary reports—is unfounded; because authority is not among religious matters, but rather returns to the human being’s natural perceptions of reality. Therefore, one cannot establish authority for conjecture through a ruling, just as one cannot revoke the authority of certainty through a ruling. This is regardless of the fact that the ruling of Sharia on the authority of some conjectures is not established, as there are numerous verses and narrations that negate the authority of conjecture in a general sense, and with their existence, certainty about the authority of some conjectures in Sharia cannot be attained. Rather, to be fair, the explicitness of some verses and narrations regarding the lack of authority of absolute conjecture is such that attributing its specification to Sharia is like fabricating lies against Allah and His Messenger.
