The Shaykh : ... .

Another questioner : ... .

Eid Abbasi: Do you mean there is no harm in it?

The Shaykh: Of course, there is no harm.

Eid Abbasi : ... .

The Shaykh : ... .

Eid Abbasi: Do you mean it is not a suitable place?

The Shaykh: ... Without ritual purity, it is not permissible.

Eid Abbasi : It is permissible.

The Shaykh: Is it permissible to pray in a place that is ritually impure?

The Shaykh: Is it permissible to read in a place that is ritually impure?

Eid Abbasi : ... .

The Shaykh: He presented it this way.

Another questioner: No, he told you: No.

The Shaykh: No, he did not tell me: No.

Eid Abbasi: He told you ... the best, of course.

The Shaykh: We are not talking about what is best right now; we are talking about whether it is permissible, permissible, permissible.

Eid Abbasi : ... .

The Shaykh: The best, if it is easy, is not to remember Allah except in a state of purity. Is it permissible?

Eid Abbasi : It is permissible.

The questioner: May I ask you a question?

The Shaykh: No, neither you nor anyone else.

Eid Abbasi: By Allah, the issue is that I disliked ... that the hadith of the Messenger - peace be upon him - : "He used to remember Allah in all his states," did this mean he did what is contrary to what is best?

The Shaykh: To clarify the permissibility, we say: By Allah, if he did what is best for us to clarify the ruling, then that is what is best for him.

Eid Abbasi: Yes, and the hadith ... .

The Shaykh: What did you understand from my words? Let's see.

Eid Abbasi: It means the intended meaning ... is not that, right?

The Shaykh: What did you understand from my words?

Eid Abbasi: I mean, if he did it ... .

Another questioner: Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh: And upon you peace.

Another questioner: Contrary to what is best ... .

Eid Abbasi: Contrary to what is best ... .

Another questioner: So that is what is best for him.

The Shaykh: I did not understand me; therefore.

Eid Abbasi: You confused me!

Another questioner: No, you did not confuse me.

The Shaykh: He did not confuse you, but he confused you, because he is talking ... .

Eid Abbasi: ... To clarify what is best, so that is what is best for him.

The Shaykh: ... If the Messenger of Allah - peace and blessings be upon him - did something that is contrary to what is best for us, then it is what is best for him.

Eid Abbasi: It is best for him to leave it, so that it would be ... .

The Shaykh: ... Contrary to what is best is better for him; because ... .

Eid Abbasi: Yes, here his action is better to be once or twice, rather than being the norm for ... .

The Shaykh: ... How do you know ... .

Eid Abbasi: ... Once or twice this happened, while he remembered Allah in all his states ... .

The Shaykh: ... In a state of purity ... or did you overlook it?

Eid Abbasi: No, he remembered Allah in all his states.
...

Eid Abbasi: Because there are no other hadiths besides these two.

The Shaykh: Here we always say: Any ruling, if it is to be understood correctly and precisely, is not taken only from the text directly related to the ruling, so it is necessary to ... Now, the hadith of A'ishah: "He used to remember Allah in all his states," is a ruling, because you are taking a ruling from it that is contrary to the rule we mentioned ... Do we imagine that the Messenger - peace be upon him - was mostly in a state of purity or in a state of impurity?

Eid Abbasi: No, in a state of purity.

The Shaykh: Okay, so the following question arises: Did he remember Allah in most of his states in a state of purity or in a state of impurity?

Eid Abbasi: In a state of purity.

The Shaykh: Now, do you understand that the issue is the opposite of what you are grasping?

Eid Abbasi: ... Because the periods in which he was in a state of ablution; which ones did he intend to be in a state of purity ... .

The Shaykh: It does not matter to me; what matters to me is that, because - my brother - these are all means; what is the goal? The goal is that he remembers Allah in a state of purity or in a state of impurity?

Eid Abbasi: Yes.

The Shaykh: ... So if it is established for us ... that in most of his states he was in a state of purity, but this ... the evidence, okay, does that include the one who is in a state of impurity? So he sometimes performed ablution for reading, sometimes performed ablution to return a greeting, sometimes did neither ... previously he used to remember Allah in all his states ... so in general terms regarding the situation ... yes.
...

The questioner: ... The Shafi'is adopted five full breastfeedings, they took it from the hadith that states that it was ... ten full breastfeedings ... with five breastfeedings ... after the death of the Messenger of Allah - peace and blessings be upon him - ... ... the statement of A'ishah - may Allah be pleased with her - she said: "Among what Allah - the Exalted - revealed in the Qur'an were ten known breastfeedings that prohibit [marriage], then they were abrogated by five known breastfeedings, and the Messenger of Allah - peace and blessings be upon him - passed away while they were still in the Qur'an that is recited ... the Qur'an is recited ... and after the death of the Messenger of Allah - peace and blessings be upon him - ?
