Question:
Some people have made a distinction regarding the confession: if the story is famous, like the story of the woman of al-Asif, then one confession is sufficient. However, if the story is not famous, like the stories of Ma'iz and al-Ghamidiyyah, then the confession must be made four times. Is this distinction correct?
Answer:
By Allah, I have not seen this in the words of the scholars that I have come across. If the person who holds this view has come across something from the words of the scholars, let him mention it and say, "The scholars said in such-and-such a book." As for answering with something from his own opinion like this, it is not permissible. Yes.
