What is the meaning of his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): “And make it a condition for them that you have the right of guardianship (wala’)?”

The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you. What is the interpretation of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the story of the hadith of Barirah, where he said to Aishah: , while he said at the end of the hadith: , even though he ordered her to make it a condition upon them.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : How is this reconciled?

The Shaykh : The reconciliation of this statement is that some said: The lam here means “upon,” meaning: “Make it a condition upon them,” just as in the saying of Allah the Exalted: , meaning: “Upon them is the curse.” But this interpretation is invalid because she did make it a condition upon them and they did not accept it. The correct view is that the meaning is “Make it a condition for them,” meaning: “Agree with them on this condition.” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) only ordered her to agree to the condition to make it clear that even if it is stipulated, it is invalid, so that its invalidity is made clear after it has been stipulated. This is more eloquent. Its parallel is that he ordered the one who prays poorly to pray, even though he does not settle in his prayer, but he intended to make it clear that an invalid prayer does not suffice, even if a person performs it. This is the correct view. This session ends here because the adhan has been called , and the question is postponed until next Thursday, if Allah wills. Yes, from far away. Yes, take this question. It does not contradict. Take this question.
