The Meaning of the Reversed Claim in the Book of Judgments
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is meant by the reversed claim in the Book of Judgments?
The Shaykh:
Reversed, yes, reversed. It is as if the defendant says, "So-and-so is claiming against me." I ask them about this reversed claim: is the claimant the defendant, or is the defendant the claimant? This is the reversed claim, yes.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
So-and-so is claiming against me with such-and-such. I ask him, "Does he have evidence?" This is reversed. This is not what you hear, because the right belongs to the claimant, not to the defendant. Yes.
