Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, you mentioned in the issue of being certain of both purity and ritual impurity that the one who was certain first remains in the state that preceded them. This is contrary to what al-Matham established, for he says it is the opposite of his state before them.
Answer:
Yes, indeed, it is the opposite of his state before them. If he was in a state of purity before them, he is now in a state of ritual impurity, because he is certain that that state has ended. And if he was in a state of ritual impurity before them, he is now in a state of purity, because he is certain that the state of ritual impurity has ended. This is correct. Yes, it is the opposite of his state before them. Yes.
