Then a discussion took place regarding the term "gold ring."
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: I mean, is the term "gold ring" a technical term agreed upon by scholars, or did the Shari'ah come with the term "ring" in this way? That is your question, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Yes, heh, that is my question, but the respondent became the questioner and the questioner became the respondent. In the name of Allah, O Allah!
The questioner: Generally, O Shaykh, it is a technical term.
The Shaykh: Well, you are right, and even if it is a technical term?
The questioner: No, by Allah, the technical term is because it appeared in the word "ring" in the books!
The Shaykh: I am not asking you for a commentary.
The questioner : The Sunnah.
The Shaykh: So what is the forbidden "gold ring" according to those who say that the gold ring is forbidden? Do you know this?
The questioner: I know it based on what I read, of course, in the book!
The Shaykh: And it is.
The questioner: The gold ring.
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner: The gold ring.
The Shaykh: You have narrowed down a broad matter. It has now become a proof, stronger than before, becoming one type.
The questioner: O Shaykh, the ring is the necklace and the bracelet.
The Shaykh: No.
The questioner: And the bangle.
The Shaykh: No.
The questioner: O Shaykh, this is how I understand the ring, if there is an error.
The Shaykh : My brother.
The questioner: Tell me if it is an error.
The Shaykh: Allow me, in linguistic books, it is said that a necklace is a ring. You are taking the general meaning. As for saying, for example, so-and-so adorned himself with a ring, meaning he put on a bracelet and a necklace, like that, we must understand the Arabic language!
The questioner: The language allows for this, O Shaykh!
The Shaykh: No power and no, O my brother, it allows for it, but what is the immediate implication?
The questioner: O Shaykh, the immediate implication does not necessarily constitute a proof. If it is the immediate implication, the intended meaning is that the word "ring" applies fully and truly to the necklace and applies to the bracelet because its shape is the shape of a ring!
The Shaykh: Yes, its shape, but when used in a general sense, the immediate implication is not that a necklace is intended, because this is a specification in the explanation. In any case, let us not enter into these discussions. Why do you not clarify and bring a word that we will argue about? I wonder if clarification is better than ambiguity and obscurity!
The questioner : ...clarification.
The Shaykh: Well, then explain to us what you understand by the "gold ring" and the prohibition that came in the hadiths, and we will differ on whether this prohibition is general or specific, or absolute or restricted, or abrogating or abrogated, and so on. Do you have an idea in answer to this question?
The questioner: O Shaykh, what I understood and came to discuss!
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: It is, of course, what I read in your two books or your books!
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: And it is that the ring in the circular shape, whatever it is, is forbidden.
The Shaykh : No, that is not so.
The questioner : Good, Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Because we are followers of the texts and not followers of philosophy.
The questioner: We seek refuge in Allah.
The Shaykh: Especially if the philosophy is based on a technical term!
The Shaykh: Yes, heh, that is my question, but the respondent became the questioner and the questioner became the respondent. In the name of Allah, O Allah!
