"A reading of *Ihkam al-Ahkam* by Ibn Daqiq al-Eid regarding the meaning of *ishtimal al-samaw*"
The reader: "As for *ishtimal al-samaw*, 'Abd al-Ghafir al-Farisi said in his *Majma'*, *Tafsir al-Fuqaha*: It is when one wraps himself in a garment and lifts it from one side to place it on his shoulders. The prohibition of this is because it leads to exposure and the appearance of the *'awrah*. He said: This interpretation is not suggested by the term *samaw*. Al-Asma'i said: It is when one wraps himself in a garment to cover his entire body such that he leaves no opening from which to extend his hand, and the term corresponds to this meaning. The prohibition of it: two possibilities are conceivable. The first: that one fears it may lead to a state where he is smothered and perishes under it if there is no opening. The second: that " ..
The Shaykh : This is based on the fact that it covers the entire body, even the face. Yes, that is correct.
The reader: "The second: that if he wraps himself in it, he cannot ".
The Shaykh : He cannot unwrap himself after that, he cannot unwrap himself, it appears to be *tajallul*. Yes.
The reader: "The second: that if he wraps himself in it, he is unable to guard himself or take precautions if something strikes him or harms him, and he cannot protect himself with his hands because he has put them under the garment in which he wrapped himself, and Allah knows best ".
The Shaykh : Yes, very good. Yes?
