The wisdom behind a woman interrupting the prayer and sleeping in front of the one praying
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, if the wisdom behind a woman passing by interrupting the prayer is that it is a trial, and that it burdens the one praying, then when she sleeps in front of the one praying, it makes him...
The Shaykh:
First.
The questioner:
Her sleeping in front of the one praying, or lying down, or sitting in the doorway, or not.
The Shaykh:
There is evidence for this, and where there is evidence, we have no say in it; we have no say in it. Although this reasoning is not a text, but rather a seeking, a seeking of a cause, a seeking of a cause that may be correct or may be incorrect. The criterion is the text. As for the derived cause, or the cause that scholars seek out, this may be correct or may be incorrect. The criterion is the text. Yes, and the text came with the prohibition for the scrupulous and the permissibility of passing by. Yes.
Another questioner:
Is the woman here meant to be an adult?
The Shaykh:
She is not called a woman unless she is an adult. As for the young girl, she is called a girl, not a woman. Yes.
The questioner:
We open the fetters of the girl.
The Shaykh:
The girl, no, she does not interrupt the prayer. Yes.
