Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : As for the cook, is it a defect in the cooking?
The Shaykh : No, there is a difference between attributing the defect to the cooked food or to the cook.
The questioner : But its implication is...
The Shaykh : Never, because we do not say, "By Allah, this bread, for example, is not good; this bread is not edible; this bread lacks what was put with it," or I say, "By Allah, your baker is not good." I do not mean the bread; I mean the baker. Yes, a defect in the product is a defect in the maker, but a defect in the maker is not a defect in the product, because the maker may improve his food later. Yes.
