He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what do you advise a student of the law of inheritance to use, the al-Burhaniyyah poem or the al-Rahbiyyah poem?
The Shaykh:
This issue is a matter of poetry or prose; it is a matter of understanding. He must understand al-Burhaniyyah or al-Rahbiyyah. Al-Rahbiyyah is a poem that he recites a second time, and al-Burhaniyyah is also a poem. Look at them.
