Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Why is the limit set at four fingers, when the shibr is larger than four fingers?
Answer:
It is not by width that you say the length is four fingers. It is not a shibr in width, meaning in length. It is not a shibr in width. The width does not exceed four fingers, but the length is unlimited. Yes.
