Meaning:
That which a person who does it rewarded and one who abandons it is punished.
Explanation:
Al-Wujoob, (obligation) is well known with the scholars of Usool-ul-Fiqh and the obligation is that which is essential, and it has been defined by the scholars of usool as being that which a person who does it rewarded and one who abandons it is punished.
And in origin al-Wujoob in the language is firmness and establishment, so it is said wajaba such and such, meaning it is something firm and established. He the Most High said with regard to al-Budn (large sacrificial animals which are sacrificed on Hajj such as camels and cows):
- When their sides wajabat …
Soorah Hajj [22]: aayah 36
Meaning, when they fall upon the earth and their death is established after they have been slaughtered
- … then eat from them and feed (others).
