Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He deserves it, and we are not. As for us, we cut off and participated in the annotation.

The Shaykh:
This monk that he sees, yes, I mean it is not a clear hadd, but it is closer to ta'zir (discretionary punishment), and the imam and the one in charge may err in it or increase in it, so it falls under the category of precaution. Yes.

The questioner:
That the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) increased it to forty; whatever exceeds forty.

The Shaykh:
