Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh! The questioner says: If the cup is mine, and no one else drinks from it, is it permissible for me to breathe into it?
The Shaykh:
No, the hadith of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is general. One does not breathe into the cup; this is general, whether it is yours alone or yours and others'. This is the apparent generality of the hadith. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
If you breathe into your own cup, people will follow your example, especially if you are among the students of knowledge. People will follow your example and become lax about breathing into the cup in general. Yes. And you are a role model. Yes.
