What is meant by the saying of the Exalted: (from between dung and blood)?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the phrase "from between dung and blood," is the intent that each of these three things is in a separate container, or is it something else?
The Shaykh : The apparent meaning is that it passes through the blood and the dung. The dung is the food, and the blood is well known.
The questioner : Everything calls out to it.
The Shaykh : Yes, it passes through, meaning it is extracted from this, isolated from these two things.
The questioner : Certainly, but...
The Shaykh : Yes, Allah knows best.
The questioner : Intensity.
The Shaykh : Ask the anatomists.
The questioner : Everything is guided in its container.
The Shaykh : Never. If everything were in a container, how could it be "between dung and blood"? And how could it be a sign? Every person, even a layperson, can put honey here, bitter gourd here, and something else here, each in a bag; there would be no sign in that. But the sign is that it comes out mixed with these things and has this description.
