Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : So that we can make it easier to get to the location of the problem. Is this verse in the middle of the page for you, or at the top, or how is it?
The questioner : I found a woman.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : In the middle of the page.
The Shaykh : Very good.
The questioner : His saying, the Exalted: meaning, so that you may deal with them, and not...
The Shaykh : Yes, yes, so if you wish, turn to the opposite page.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : You will find it in the first third.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : A hadith in which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:.
The questioner : A jinni, yes.
The Shaykh : Did you find the hadith?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Please read after the hadith: "And what should be relied upon is..."
The questioner : "The incorrectness of this report."
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : "And in al-Bahr, they lengthened the stories of her, meaning Bilqis, with what is not established in the Qur'an or the authentic hadith, and what is mentioned of the narratives is most like the things of the jinn, if the apparent is that intermarriage between humans and jinn, which was said..."
The Shaykh : Here is the problem now, please proceed.
The questioner : "Who slapsThe questioner : him for what was said."
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : "SlapsThe questioner : him for his foolishness and ignorance that there should be no offspring between them."
The Shaykh : What is this statement? So the copy I have matches what you have.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So I did not understand this meaning.
The questioner : "If the apparent is that intermarriage between humans and jinn, which was said, slapsThe questioner : him for his foolishness and ignorance that there should be no offspring between them." Meaning, he wants, and Allah knows best, to say: he denies intermarriage between humans and jinn. "If the apparent is that intermarriage between humans and jinn, which was said," slaps is in the report of "in."
The Shaykh : No problem, first of all, hereThe questioner : it is not mentioned in the context or in the preceding text.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Then, suppose he slapsThe questioner : him, well, the reason for his foolishness.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : What is the meaning of this statement?
The questioner : It means that it should not be the case that there is even just a question about the occurrence of intermarriage between humans and jinn.
The Shaykh : Oh teacher, we are patching things up from our side, but the phrase does not give this meaning.
The questioner : Yes, this is what I understand, and Allah knows best.
The Shaykh : Well, is this phrase correct in your opinion?
The questioner : No, it is not correct.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is the intention. The intention is to return to the text written by the author, what is it?
The questioner : By Allah, I mean, it seems to me that there is a missing part in the matter.
The Shaykh : This is the intention.
The questioner : Yes, and Allah knows best.
The Shaykh : Well, the edition you have, you said it was a photocopy of the Bulaq edition?
The questioner : Yes, there is no other, our Shaykh, meaning, there is only one, meaning, there is none. Al-Alusi was not printed in more than one edition only, then the publishers photocopied it. And they said the same about my printing, such as the Muniriyyah Printing Administration, and Dar Ihya al-Turath.
The Shaykh : I have the nineteenth volume, Dar al-Fikr for printing and publishing.
The questioner : Ah, I am not telling you, our Shaykh, meaning, it is because you know the plagiarism of publishers, meaning.
The Shaykh : Well, now, on this page, the first word from the top, the first line, what do you have?
The questioner : And Ibn Abi Shaybah reported that.
The Shaykh : Ah, and the bottom?
The questioner : That she judges in what she witnesses, not absolutely.
The Shaykh : That is it.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Glory be to Allah, no, in my mind, there is a picture I saw in the Zahiriyyah Library, a Bulaq edition of these letters that are, meaning, more faded than the letters found today, and on brown paper.
The questioner : By Allah, our Shaykh, it is permissible, this original edition.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is what I mean.
The questioner : This edition has written on it: the Muniriyyah edition.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Fine, may Allah reward you with good.
The questioner : And you too, Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Peace be upon you.
The questioner : Peace and mercy of Allah be upon you.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : "The apparent is that intermarriage between humans and jinn, which was said, slapsThe questioner : him" meaning, if a questioner asked, does it happen or not.
The Shaykh : Well, his foolishness, where is it attached?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : His foolishness, what is it attached to?
The questioner : His foolishness, by his question, meaning.
The Shaykh : "SlapsThe questioner : for his foolishness and ignorance."
The questioner : Yes, exactly.
The Shaykh : "That there should be no offspring between them."
The questioner : Meaning, his foolishness and ignorance by this question that there should be no offspring between them.
The Shaykh : What is the meaning of that there should be no offspring between them?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : How do we connect the last sentence to what came before it?
The questioner : Oh my master, and Allah knows best, "if the apparent is that intermarriage between humans and jinn, which was said, slapsThe questioner : him for his foolishness and ignorance that there should not be," because it means, in that there should be no offspring between them.
The Shaykh : This is not the apparent of his text.
The questioner : By Allah, our Shaykh, this means, I believe that the phrase is like this, because in Arabic, "that there should not be" is usually written with a preposition, whether it is the ba or the fa, when it is the derived noun.
The Shaykh : Yes, teacher, but what I intend is, what is the result of this sentence, what does he want to say? Meaning, the slap to the questioner, with what does he slap? With what does he slap thisThe questioner : ? And what is the relation of "that there should be no offspring"?
The questioner : He slaps with that there should be no offspring between them.
The Shaykh : And it was said that there is offspring.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner : Ah, no, but he means, the author of the tafsir leans
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : towards denying this offspring.
The Shaykh : This is understood, may Allah bless you, but he wants to slapThe questioner : with what, with what he claims, for example, contrary to the others, that there is no offspring?
The questioner : That is it.
The Shaykh : Yes, but this is not clear, there must be a word or a term or...
The questioner : There is only a letter, meaning, a letter is perhaps missing, "which was said, slapsThe questioner : him for his foolishness and ignorance in that, by that there should be no offspring between them," meaning, with this he slaps with that there should be no offspring between them, and this is permissible in Arabic.
The Shaykh : All right, may Allah reward you with good.
The questioner : And to you.
The Shaykh: Peace be upon you.
The questioner: And upon you peace.
The questioner : I found a woman.
The Shaykh : Yes.

One of Bilqis's parents was a jinni.
