The Will with Examples.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The third condition: What is it?
The student: The will.
The Shaykh : The will and its opposite, the absence of will. If a person eats or drinks without intending to do so, his fast is valid and he owes no make-up. The absence of will occurs either through coercion or through something that passes over him without intent. If a fasting person is coerced into eating or drinking and does so to remove the coercion, his fast is valid. Likewise, if a man gargles during ablution and water goes down into his stomach without intent or choice, his fast is valid. And if a fasting person is sleeping and he has a wet dream and ejaculates, his fast is valid because it is without what?
The student: Will.
The Shaykh : Without will. Do you understand now?
The student: The will.
