The Aspect of Restriction in the Hadith: There Is No Race

The questioner:
I say, O Shaykh, what is the aspect of restriction in the hadith: "There is no race except..."? No.

The Shaykh:
Its aspect is the negation and the exception; this is the aspect, this is the aspect of restriction, this is a tool of restriction, yes.

The questioner:
Because that could be understood to mean that the wager is from both parties, but if the wager is from one of the two racers, then it is permissible in all races,

The Shaykh:
and it is not a matter of the consideration from one of the speakers regarding the thing raced upon, the matter of the race, the speech regarding the race, but the issue of the consideration, from whom, from one of the racers, or from the racers, or from a third party, this is not our concern, it is a place of research and independent legal reasoning for the people of knowledge, but the speech regarding its restriction to the three types of race, yes.
