Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Our Shaykh, regarding the statement of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, [At-Tawbah 9:113], the Sunnah indicates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) answered the Bedouin or answered the man, saying: . In a narration... we read in some books, or this was adopted in some books, or some of our brothers whom we testify to their commitment, that it is possible that "my father and your father are in the Fire" means "my uncle and your uncle are in the Fire." What is your response, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh: Is it possible that the opposite is the case?
The questioner: It has to be so; it has to exonerate the parents of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family). It is possible that this is the case. We asked him how...
The Shaykh: First, exoneration is not in his hand nor in ours; but we are now talking about the meaning of the hadith. Are you on your word?
The questioner: No, I did not respond to him, I did not respond to him, but I want to see the meaning of the hadith.
The Shaykh: No, no, on your word, you transmit from him saying "it is possible." Well, is the apparent meaning not possible?
The questioner: Certainly.
The Shaykh: So what is his answer? ...
The questioner: His answer was that we did not ask him about the second point, which is to take the apparent meaning.
The Shaykh: This is the problem; therefore, you need to learn the question and the answer.
The questioner: If you were to tell your friend...
The Shaykh: No problem, my friend...
The questioner: Tell him, "It has been reported to me that you said such and such."
The Shaykh: Do you backbite him? Do you not backbite him?
The questioner: Yes, I will tell you his name later.
The Shaykh: Well, I will tell you later, ...; this hadith, if you interpret it figuratively, the Shari'ah is abrogated. This is first. Second, the hadith has a specific occasion, which is that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and said to him, "Where is my father?" He said,. How do you understand this statement to be about his uncle?
The questioner: No.
Another questioner : The hadith is clear.
The Shaykh: The apparent meaning of the hadith is clear. If this figurative interpretation does not work here, because it has an occasion that prevents the interpretation and invalidates it. This is one point. The second point is, what does he do with the hadith? Or is the father of this friend of yours more important than the mother? ...
Another questioner: On this basis, the mother would turn out to be her aunt; ...
The Shaykh: The truth is, by Allah, this is strange. It is the time for sleep. It seems you slept for a moment to refresh yourself, but 'Ukkasha got ahead of you with it.
It is not for the Prophet and those who have believed to ask forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they were relatives
