Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : This is a continuation of that, meaning.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good. What if it is less than a handful, even by a small amount? Is that permissible? Then I ask.
The Shaykh : Do you mean what exceeds? What exceeds? Because you mean taking, meaning.
The questioner : Yes, I mean taking.
The Shaykh : So then, taking is considered an excess.
The questioner : Yes, meaning if a person, for example, took what exceeded his handful and then transgressed?
The Shaykh : He has transgressed.
The questioner : He has transgressed.
The Shaykh : This is it. Why did we tell you that? At that time, it is not understood from this research that we are left to our own devices to take and embellish and decorate. No, we are standing at the limits of Allah and nothing more.
