Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Ibn Majah 363Da'if (Darussalam) ...
The Shaykh : Correct.
The questioner : The difficulty for me is in the narration:
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : It is included in the seven, but if you add seven washings with water and dust, how many is that?
The student: Eight.
The Shaykh : Eight does not mean that you wash it with water seven times. By "water seven times," I do not mean that you wash it eight times with water; rather, it is seven times with water, but if you add the dust to it, it becomes eight. So there is no contradiction between the two narrations. Both narrations are authentic, and neither contradicts the other, or both are correct, which is the most accurate view. Yes.
If a dog licks the vessel of anyone of you, let him wash it seven times.

The questioner : The difficulty for me is in the narration:
And wipe the eighth with dust.
وعفروه الثامنة بالترابThe Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
