Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) counted the divorce.
The Shaykh:
It is an ijtihad (independent legal reasoning), yes, and it is the opinion of the majority, yes.
The questioner:
That is, it involves a distinction, yes, a distinction between the statements.
The Shaykh:
So this is from the Sunnah (the Prophet's way); it is from the Sunnah that when a believer speaks, he clarifies, whether he is advising, a Muslim, or being consulted; he clarifies so that the one addressed acts with knowledge.
