Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the difference between that which is measured by volume and that which is weighed?
Answer:
By Allah, these questions are strange. What is the difference between that which is measured by volume and that which is weighed? That which is measured by volume is what is measured with a measure, such as a sa' or a kilogram, using a measuring vessel. As for that which is weighed, it is what is weighed on a scale; a scale is used for it, and the weight of the thing is used. Yes, is a scale used for it? This exists. And that for which a measuring vessel is used is measured by volume. This does not need a question. Yes.
