Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It is stated in the books of the jurists that they said: "The testimony of al-Musani', al-Mutamakhkhir, the singer, the dancer, the chess player, the backgammon player, and the pigeon player is not accepted." What is meant by al-Musani' and al-Mutamakhkhir? Al-Musafi', my brother, al-Musafi'.
The Shaykh:
What is meant by it is al-Musata', or it can be called al-Malaks now. Yes.
The questioner:
And al-Mutamakhkhir, and is there a connection between them?
The Shaykh:
Al-Sakhr, yes, the one who does a lot of al-Sakhr, the one who is always joking. This indicates that he is lax, it indicates that he is lax, and people also disparage him, because he is always joking, and always making fun, and always disparaging in the eyes of people. Yes, so if he has descended to this level, he does not care about testimony, he does not care about testimony, yes.
The questioner:
And is playing with pigeons more noble? He says: the actor, the singer, and the child.
The Shaykh:
That he is lax in testimony. If he makes a profession of forbidden singing, he is lax in it, so he is lax in testimony.
The questioner:
And al-Raqib.
The Shaykh:
Al-Raqib is known, the one who dances like women. This indicates his laxity and his descent from manliness, his imitating women.
The questioner:
And the chess player.
The Shaykh:
From the sun, saw
The questioner:
And al-Nard.
The Shaykh:
And looking at the fire, it means the same thing, yes.
The questioner:
And al-Hamam.
The Shaykh:
That he plays with pigeons, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade playing with pigeons. This indicates his baseness, he entered the pigeon coop to play, this indicates his baseness and the imperfection of his intellect, so he is lax in testimony.
