Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The people are partners in three things: water, pasture, and fire. How can people be partners in the fire?
Answer:
Yes, if there is fire that is not in the possession of anyone, and there is no fire present in it, but there is a coal that exists, then people are partners in it. As for if it is in the custody of someone or in the ownership of someone, then it belongs to him. Yes, but if we come to a place where there is a burning fire, going to its owner, there is a coal, no one comes to control it. It was said that the fire referred to is the substance of fire. It was said that the fire referred to is the materials from which it is made, such as sulfur, and such as the specific trees from which the substance of fire is taken.
