The questioner:
If he says 'azimah or 'azamah, does it mean that it is obligatory, Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
Yes. If, in the language of the Shari'ah, Shaykh, it is mentioned that it is an 'azimah or 'azamah, it is in the context of the obligatory. It may also be used in matters of disagreement, such as sujud al-tilawah, which is a sunnah (recommended practice) and not obligatory.
