Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Mashhur: In the chain of narration, it is mentioned from al-Hasan.
The Shaykh : Before that, before that, O professor.
Mashhur: Before that, in my view, and Ibn Asakir from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ... it was ...
The Shaykh : Fine, read it.
Mashhur: "And what should be relied upon is the invalidity of this report."
The Shaykh: Yes.
Mashhur: "And in al-Bahr, they lengthened the stories of her, meaning Bilqis, with what is not established in the Qur'an or in authentic hadith, and what is mentioned of the tales is most like the things of the jinn, so it is apparent, assuming the interbreeding between humans and jinn that is claimed, that the questioner is slapped for his foolishness and ignorance, that there is no interbreeding between them, and it was mentioned from al-Hasan in what Ibn Asakir narrated that it was said in his presence that the Queen of Saba had one of her parents as a jinn, so he said: 'They do not interbreed,' meaning that a woman from among humans does not give birth to a jinn, and a woman from among jinn does not give birth to a human." Yes.The questioner : He attributed foolishness and ignorance to the idea that there could be offspring between them. It is also reported from al-Hasan, as narrated by Ibn Asakir, that it was said in his presence that the Queen of Saba was the daughter of a jinn. He said, "They do not interbreed," meaning that a woman from among the humans does not give birth to a jinn, and a woman from among the jinn does not give birth to a human. Yes.
The Shaykh: ...and so on.
Mashhur: Yes.
The Shaykh : Is there anything unclear to you regarding the expression in this text that I read? Did I make myself understood?
Mashhur: I understood you, yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, we are waiting for your opinion.
Mashhur: May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And to you ... first.
Mashhur: Please, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Is there any awkwardness in some of the phrases, and is there any ambiguity in the meaning? Mashhur: The ambiguity is what I mean that occurs in my mind, which is what was said: "The questioner is slapped for his foolishness and ignorance, that there is no interbreeding between them."
The Shaykh : Fine, what do you understand from this sentence? From "it is apparent" to the end where you stopped.
The questioner : My understanding is the denial of the occurrence of interbreeding between humans and jinn.
The Shaykh : That is clear.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner : As for the wording of the phrase, that there is interbreeding between them.
The Shaykh : How?
Mashhur: I mean, perhaps the "la" (negation) is inserted and superfluous.
The Shaykh : That there is.
Mashhur: "Interbreeding between them, the questioner is slappedThe questioner : for his foolishness and ignorance."
The Shaykh : That there is interbreeding between them?
Mashhur: If the questioner asserted that there is interbreeding between them, or if he asked about the interbreeding between them.
The Shaykh : Fine, I want first to understand your answer: is there no awkwardness in this sentence?
Mashhur: There is, it is as if something is omitted, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Fine, what do you estimate? Or shall we give you a chance to think about it and give us your opinion so that we remove the difficulty in my mind.
Mashhur: May Allah reward you with good, I will call you in a little while, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
Mashhur: May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh: Peace be upon you.
Mashhur: And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
