The questioner:

The Shaykh:
Yes, mukhaddirat means the hidden daughters in the inner chambers. He describes scientific issues as hidden daughters, by way of praise for the scientific issues. Yes.

The questioner:

The Shaykh:
Yes, it is in a hadith. Yes, it is in a hadith. But the correct view is that debt is not dropped, because it is a right of a created being. The right of a created being is not dropped except by his forgiveness of it or by giving it to him. This is the rule regarding the rights of created beings: they must either be given their rights or they must forgive them. Yes.
