The Condition of Clear Understanding in Establishing the Argument
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The fourteenth question: Is clear and distinct understanding required in establishing the argument, or does the mere establishment of it suffice? We ask for a detailed explanation of this, along with the evidence, and may Allah bless you.
Answer:
We mentioned in the answer preceding this that if the evidence from the Qur'an or the Sunnah reaches him in a way that he would understand if he wished—meaning it reaches him in a comprehensible manner, he understands the Arabic language—and then he does not pay attention to it and does not act upon it, he is not excused by ignorance; because he is negligent.
The presenter:
May Allah bless your knowledge.
