A: If the comparison is made for a good objective such as clarifying the comprehensive characteristic of Shari`ah (Islamic Law), its highness, supremacy and care for the public interests of humankind, there is nothing wrong with it. Indeed, this serves to clear up the truth and persuade those who call people to falsehood. It also discloses the false claims for enforcing the positive laws or that the present time is not valid for the laws of Shari`ah since the time of enforcing Shari`ah has passed. If these things and the like are the goal of making comparisons, there is no harm, for it helps to clarify the vanity of the falsehoods of those people and the invalidity of their inclinations as well as bringing confidence to hearts of Muslims regarding their religion so that they hold fast to it. There is nothing wrong with undertaking these comparisons by the insightful and knowledgeable scholars known for their sound creed, good conduct, erudition in Islamic sciences and the honorable objectives of Shari`ah.
