As for the comprehensiveness , see for example: الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ ابْنِ أَخِي حَسَّانَ الْعِجْلِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ حَلَالًا وَ لَا حَرَاماً إِلَّا وَ لَهُ حُدُودٌ كَحُدُودِ دَارِي هَذِهِ مَا كَانَ مِنَ الطَّرِيقِ فَهُوَ مِنَ الطَّرِيقِ وَ مَا كَانَ مِنَ الدَّارِ فَهُوَ مِنَ الدَّارِ حَتَّى أَرْشُ الْخَدْشِ فَمَا سِوَاهُ وَ الْجَلْدَةِ وَ نِصْفِ الْجَلْدَةِ Al Husayn Bin Muhammad Al Ashary, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Aban Bin Usman, from Suleyman cousin of Hassan Al Ajaly who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah -asws saying: ‘Allah -azwj did not Create a Permissible nor a Prohibition except for it is a Limit like the limits (boundaries) of this house of mine -asws .
Whatever was from the road, so it is from the road, and whatever was from the house, so it is from the house, to the extent of the compensation of the scratch, and whatever is besides it, and the lashing and half of the lashing’.
[1] When it comes to the conditions of faith (how to connect with Allah -azwj ), there is no leeway , e.g., عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ السِّنْدِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ نَحْنُ الَّذِينَ فَرَضَ اللَّهُ طَاعَتَنَا لَا يَسَعُ النَّاسَ إِلَّا مَعْرِفَتُنَا وَ لَا يُعْذَرُ النَّاسُ بِجَهَالَتِنَا مَنْ عَرَفَنَا كَانَ مُؤْمِناً وَ مَنْ أَنْكَرَنَا كَانَ كَافِراً وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَعْرِفْنَا وَ لَمْ يُنْكِرْنَا كَانَ ضَالًّا حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَى الْهُدَى الَّذِي افْتَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ طَاعَتِنَا الْوَاجِبَةِ فَإِنْ يَمُتْ عَلَى ضَلَالَتِهِ يَفْعَلِ اللَّهُ بِهِ مَا يَشَاءُ Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Salih Bin Al Sindy, from Ja’far Bin Bashir, from Abu Salma, (The narrator says) I heard Imam Abu Abdullah -asws saying: ‘We -asws are those, obedience to whom Allah -azwj has necessitated.
