Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the one who made the ambiguous statement said, "I have something," and then clarified it by saying, "It is a small amount," is this small amount accepted from him?
Answer:
Yes, it is accepted, as long as men can benefit from it, such that they can eat dinner with it but not breakfast, or go to the restaurant and eat dinner with it but not ride a car. If you need a riyal and you do not have it, what do you do? The riyal is of no use. Yes.
