Is it a condition for those whose hearts are to be reconciled that they be leaders in their people, or not?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Is it a condition for those whose hearts are to be reconciled that they be of noble status and leadership in their people, or is it not a condition?
The questioner : It is not a condition.
The Shaykh : It is not a condition. Now, rest. Do you agree with that?
The questioner : It is not a condition.
The Shaykh : It has been said, and it has been said, that there are two opinions on this.
The questioner : It has been said that...
The Shaykh : That is, it has been said, and it has been said, that there are two opinions on this.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : But these are two opinions stated with knowledge, not the kind of "two opinions" attributed to Ibn Jinni.
The questioner : It has been said that...
The Shaykh : All right, be patient, may Allah reward you. Some people, when they are confused about the ruling on an issue, say there are two opinions on it. That is, two opinions. Ibn Jinni was a man, a scholar of grammar, quite good at it, and he had a father who was less knowledgeable than he was. So this son used to say to his father:"Whenever you are asked about an issue, say there are two opinions on it. Yes, so a man came to him and asked him, 'Is there doubt in Allah?' He said, 'There are two opinions on that.'""There are two opinions on doubt in Allah"? I seek refuge in Allah. The details are with the son; he says, "The details are with my son." So his son said, "Yes, there are two opinions on its grammar, not on its reality. As for Allah (Mighty and Majestic), there is no doubt in Him, but there are two opinions on its grammar: is 'shak' (doubt) the subject and the prepositional phrase and the fronted element the predicate, or is 'shak' the object with the prepositional phrase?" So you get out of it. I say, brother, we now understand that he says there are two opinions on it, but he says it out of knowledge. He says that it is a condition for the author to be a master so that we benefit from him. If he embraced Islam and his faith became strong, who will follow him?
The questioner : His people.
The Shaykh : Now, another opinion says it is not a condition, because if we give to the poor for the sustenance of his body, is giving to him for the sustenance of his heart...?
The questioner : More deserving.
The questioner : It is not a condition.
The Shaykh : It is not a condition. Now, rest. Do you agree with that?
The questioner : It is not a condition.
