Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, asks: What is the meaning of the author's (may Allah have mercy on him) statement: "the one in essence and the one in type"?
Answer:
Because there is a difference between the type and the essence. For example, an animal is a type; this type is general. But an individual is a specific horse, this is a donkey, this is a dog, and this is a human. These are individuals; the individuals differ. The essence and the type: all of it is called an animal. Yes.
