Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The hadith regarding semen: , is it weak?
The Shaykh : Weak.
The questioner : The hadith regarding the command to scrape it off.
Another questioner : What is your opinion...?
The Shaykh : ... .
Another questioner : Do we continue now or stop?
The Shaykh : ... .
The questioner : Regarding the command to scrape off semen, I agree that the hadith is weak, though the Hafiz authenticated it. However, I found it to be anomalous (shadh). The hadith is anomalous because it is transmitted through several chains without the command to scrape, except for this one narration which includes the scraping. So, while I was studying it, I realized that it is anomalous; so I do not know.
The Shaykh: Who narrated the command?
The questioner : Yes?
The Shaykh : Who narrated the command?
The questioner : I do not know.
Eid Abbasi: Aisha?
The Shaykh : It was Aisha; Aisha is the one who narrated the hadith about semen, but in various wordings. So, who narrated the wording of the command?
The questioner: By Allah.
The Shaykh : You do not remember.
The questioner : I remember... for the sake of...
The Shaykh: I do not remember.
The questioner : Ibn Hazm weakens it, but I found, while tracing all the narrations, meaning gathering and looking at them, that I noticed this narration is one in which people differ regarding its narrator. So, I noticed that it is anomalous.
The Shaykh : ... .
Eid Abbasi: But it is not possible.
The questioner : Meaning, the command to scrape is not authentic, because if we were commanded to scrape it, would it be possible for it to be impure or not? Suppose the hadith of the command to scrape were authentic, would we remain with the command to scrape, or would we rank it as impure?
The Shaykh : No, if the wording of the command were established and it were established that the command is for obligation, then it would be established that it is impure.
The questioner: This requires specific research.
The Shaykh: Yes.
Welcome, Abu 'Adnan.
Another questioner : May you be in safety.
The Shaykh : How are you?
It is only in the position of mucus and phlegm
إنما هو بمنزلة المخاط والبصاقThe Shaykh : Weak.
