five: What are the types of wealth subject to zakah for which the completion of a lunar year of possession is not required for the obligation of zakah?
six: Which sect affirmed a specific number of attributes for Allah and denied all others? What are these attributes? What is their argument for affirming them? And how do you refute them? Question seven: The specialists in inheritance law stated that among brothers, some are inauspicious and some are blessed. State the criterion for this and give an example.

These are ten questions, and the total score is one hundred, with each question worth ten points. The prize is a prize you have never seen before. We ask Allah for success, and the duration is from the morning of this Thursday to the morning of Saturday, meaning two days, two full days.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, do not ask about things that, if revealed to you, would grieve you.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, from Thursday to the morning of Saturday is two days: Thursday in full and Friday in full.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Fine. I am afraid we will be delayed in the grading, and perhaps some people will leave if the recitation of the Qur'an is completed. They might return, meaning the night of Sunday is the twenty-seventh night, and it is the custom of people that after the twenty-seventh, many of them disperse. Otherwise, I have no objection to staying on Monday, but Monday is the 28th, which is problematic. I would prefer that we read, at least, the names of the winners if we see benefit in reading them, and we will mention the place from which the prizes are to be taken, if Allah wills, later. Each person will be given a signed certificate stating that he excelled in the competition of such and such a year.
Yes, if Allah wills.
