If the verse (( It comes out from between the backbone and the ribs )) is specific to the man, how is it reconciled with the hadith ( If the woman's fluid precedes, the resemblance comes )?

The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. In your preference regarding the saying of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, in the interpretation: You said that it is specific to the man in terms of the backbone and the ribs. This is difficult for me to reconcile with the hadith regarding the precedence of the woman's fluid in determining resemblance. How is this reconciled?

The Shaykh : This is what prevents it, because regarding His saying: It is not possible for the woman's fluid to be the gushing fluid; it is never the gushing fluid. The gushing fluid is the man's fluid.

The questioner : The resemblance.

The Shaykh : The resemblance is what prevents it; if the gushing fluid mixes with this, the effect of the resemblance is prevented. Therefore, in the verse we read a moment ago, the woman's drop is not poured into the man's private part.
