Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Our Shaykh, he also says that if a man is traveling and has no water with him, or if he is ill and it is difficult for him to use water, he may kiss his wife and have intercourse with her. Do you agree with him on this?
The Shaykh : How is this statement? If he is traveling and is ill.
The questioner : But he is able to have intercourse with his wife, or perhaps it is also difficult for him to use water. He is, of course, restricted to the condition of travel...
The Shaykh : Before that, my brother, may Allah guide you. Do not explain it yourself. You read the phrase: he was traveling and was ill.
The questioner : Yes, yes, it is possible, our Shaykh. I dropped the hamza or...
The Shaykh : Okay, the important thing is that you are correcting the phrase, because this has been recorded. What is the phrase?
The questioner : And whoever is traveling and has no water with him, perhaps here it should be "or" he is ill and it is difficult for him to use water.
The Shaykh : That is not possible. "And" he was ill.
The questioner : I, I, my copy might not have the hamza, but now the meaning requires placing "or" or "he was ill and it is difficult for him to use water, so he may kiss his wife and have intercourse with her," and so on.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Do you agree with him on this, our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes, by Allah, I agree with him.
