The questioner : It begins with something other than that, then the other party permitted it afterwards.
The Shaykh : By mistake, not intentionally? We said that it is valid. I mean, the case that occurs for the one who entered. It occurs, it does not occur for the first one. Come, come. For its owner. I am silent, my hand, I intended it for myself. If that is the case, then it is for myself. It is not possible because he may have designated it, yes, if it was not designated previously, if its owner did not designate it, he returned it and did not designate it, then yes, he does what he wishes.
