Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the meaning of the Wife of the Minister's statement:[Yusuf 12:52]?
Answer:
She means that she is now saying, "Now the truth has become clear. I tried to seduce him." Her admission of this is so that Yusuf (peace be upon him) would know that she did not betray him in secret, and that she does not clear herself of what happened. This is part of her complete apology. Yes.
