Discussion of the competition.

The Shaykh : Yes, very well. We mentioned the competition. At the beginning of the lesson, we said that we might hold a competition. The word "might" does not imply certainty; it is only a possibility. However, this "might" was contradicted by another "might," which is that we might not hold it. This second possibility is stronger than the first, because when I thought about it, the time is now tight. When will the questions be distributed? When will they be submitted to the correctors? When will the correction take place? When will the prizes be awarded? When will they be purchased? When will they be distributed? And perhaps some of the participants will travel, leaving us in a dilemma regarding their status. So I said, why not opt for safety? It was said, and it was the case, that Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal did not prefer anything over safety. The matter is concluded, my friend. Yes.
