One of the Shaykhs said regarding the hadith (the black seed is a cure for every disease except poison) that this applies to the diseases that existed in the time of the Prophet

The questioner: One of the Shaykhs says: for the diseases that were in the time of the Messenger - (peace and blessings be upon him) - or in those regions. I mean, what is your opinion of this statement?

The Shaykh: I mean, he is specifying it?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: A lie, by Allah, from whoever said this.

The questioner: As if he transmitted a consensus on that, saying that it is the consensus of the jurists and scholars.

The Shaykh: May Allah guide him. How can it be correct for the Messenger to say: and we come and say except this and except that and except that?! I mean, we exclude most of the modern diseases, and we specify that it is a cure for the old diseases, and we nullify the generality, which is a generality with a tool of restriction. I mean, when your people, for example, your people are ten persons, and you, first of all, are an Arab who counts the words of Arabic, and then you are truthful and you say: "The people came except so-and-so," and another comes and says: "The man means except half the people, except three-quarters of the people, except a quarter of the people," this is a lie to you - (and peace be upon you) - this statement is never correct and does not come from a Muslim, unless he is a non-Arab who does not understand the Arabic language... But today, the misfortunes, we find them springing from the Arabs... Most of the people, may Allah forgive you, O Arab, this is understood when the people came, and we searched, if he said: "The people came except so-and-so," yes, where are you? You want to believe my words, meaning that the problem is with the Arabs themselves.
The student: The tool of exception...

The questioner: What is the ruling on looking at images on television.

Another questioner : ... .

The Shaykh: I do not know. It must have differences for use or... and here lies the secret. Ibn al-Qayyim spoke about it a lot, but I have no opinion and I have no knowledge of this.
