Abstract
This research delves into the study and analysis a rule of Islamic jurisprudence : "What is Permitted Due to an Excuse is Nullified Upon Its Removal." This rule is considered one of the most significant rules in Islamic jurisprudence, as it encompasses numerous jurisprudential rulings closely tied to the implementation of legal obligations rulings and the fulfillment of their objectives in real-life situations. This necessitates the search for the available legal alternatives for every issue, where complying with the original legal obligation becomes difficult. We employed an inductive approach to gather scholarly material related to the vocabulary of the rule and its contents, and the comparative analytical approach in benefiting from that material in establishing the rule and revealing its controls and conditions. Islamic law (Shari'ah) is based on taking into account and considering the excuse this rule can be considered one of the most important controls for working with the rule [hardship brings ease], an excuse that is considered sufficient to alleviate or remove a legal obligation must be excessive and must be beyond the limits of the ordinary. and that the individual obligated has a religious responsibility in assessing the excuse that he can rely on in proceeding to take the license or not when its requirement arises.
