The questioner:
What happened, Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz? I was praying.
The Shaykh:
Yes. I was praying, and in Surat al-Baqarah there is[At-Taghabun 64:13] One day, while I was reciting it, I made a mistake in its recitation: [Al-Jumu'ah 62:1]. This is a verse in every verse, this is the last verse of the surah, and the greatest of them with this goodness: [At-Taghabun 64:13]. Other than that, it is like this, so I disliked it after every prayer and at bedtime. Fine. But if I made a mistake in it, if I made a mistake, then he should do it, if Allah wills, and the mistake was corrected afterwards.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good. Yes.
The Shaykh:
There is a usage. The prescribed Sunnah, known among the scholars, is that it is a Sunnah; the command is for the Sunnah, this is the known position, and the default ruling for the Sidr is obligation, but the known position among the scholars is that using Sidr in washing the dead and the menstruating woman is better; because it is more effective in purification, and if Sidr is not available, soap is used, or soap that serves as its substitute.
