The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the criterion for defining the cross? Is it the one whose lower end is short and its right end?
The Shaykh:
What is it? What is it?
The questioner:
What is the criterion for defining the cross?
The Shaykh:
The cross, as it was with the Christians, was the emblem of the Christians. It is the cross; they claim it is in the image of the Messiah, that he was crucified on the wood. Yes.
The questioner:
And is it necessary for one of the ends to be?
The Shaykh:
No, the cross is not of one type; it is not of one type, it is of various types. But the criterion is what they adopt as an emblem for their worship, and it varies among them, having many forms. Yes.
