English translation of the principle

Discontinuance of proceedings does not apply to actions whose subject matter concerns public order. Example thereof. Charitable bequests. Reason therefor. They involve an act of benevolence, so their fate is not tied to the will of the person who instituted them. Reason therefor. Their classification as hisbah actions relating to a right belonging exclusively to Almighty God or a right in which God's right predominates, and not intended to defend personal rights.
Arabic original
ترك الخصومة لا يرد على الدعاوى التي يتعلق موضوعها بالنظام العام. مثال ذلك. الوصايا الخيرية. علة ذلك. انطواؤها على عمل من أعمال البر فلا يرتبط مصيرها بإرادة من أقامها. علة ذلك. عدها من دعاوى الحسبة التي تتصل بحق خالص الله تعالى أو بحق يغلب فيه حق االله ولا يقصد بها الدفاع عن حقوق ذاتية.
