Does An Act Or One Sentence Of Kufr By One Spouse Terminate The Marriage?
Good question. There is difference between Illah (cause) and aim or goal (maqsad). Ahkam are based on illah, not on maqsad. The illah of prayer is to worship God, and to remember Him is its maqsad. In the same ways, Illah of fast is to obey God, the maqsad is to achieve Taqwa. The forms are required to fulfill the requirement of illah, while the maqasad can be achieved in more than on ways.
