What is the difference between cases of visible acts and cases of speech?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Cases of visible acts that are devoid of speech, meaning a mere action that could imply many things. For example, some people said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) faced the direction of the Sacred Mosque and turned his back to the Ka'bah when relieving himself. Some of them said: This is a case of a visible act. It is possible that the Messenger was forgetful, it is possible that he was excused because the direction of the toilet was toward that side, and it is possible that many other things were the case. We do not know. But regarding this visible act, we say that the original state is the negation of these possibilities. Every action is a case of a visible act that allows for possibilities, but sometimes the other possibilities are the weaker position and have no standing. Yes.
The questioner : ... the condition of the second congregation.
The Shaykh : It is not correct.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Is it his illiteracy, is it the second one or the first one?
