What is the reality of the hermaphrodite?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the hermaphrodite, is the intention here that it means... for example, a young man who is male, or... created...

The Shaykh : How and in what way, I mean?

The questioner : I mean, male...

The Shaykh : That is his original nature, no, no, no, it is not imitation; it is his natural constitution.

The questioner : The intended meaning is...

The Shaykh : His natural constitution, yes, and knowledge is with Allah, this involves female glands, female glands.

The questioner : The hermaphrodite.

The Shaykh : No, the hermaphrodite has different organs, male and female organs; this one has male organs... male, and he has no female opening, but he has glands, and perhaps Akh Rishad knows something about this; he has female glands.

The questioner : His female organs are atrophied, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Yes, or atrophied organs, meaning hidden.

The questioner : ... hidden.

The Shaykh : Yes, this is the hermaphrodite.

The questioner : He has effeminacy, for example... I mean.

The Shaykh : Absolutely not, I mean, I have not... seen anyone except when I was young, once, let me recall it like a dream: a person walking in the markets, his gait and his walk, everything he says makes you think he is a woman. And there is also a young man I know, after I grew up, a young man like that... you would not say anything but that he is a woman, to the point that you feel his face crumbles and he is shy when a man looks at him. Yes, that is right.

The questioner : … O Shaykh?
Another questioner: Without intention... or does he intend this?

The Shaykh : Yes, and how, and what does he do? He does nothing; he eats and drinks and sleeps until Allah decrees his affair.

The questioner : Does he not sin for that?

The Shaykh : Absolutely not, how would he sin?

The questioner : And the mosque, O Shaykh...

The Shaykh : He prays, he prays with the congregation, and he goes and comes, but sometimes he is overcome with shyness and is embarrassed so they do not see him. He is excused in this.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Yes, he is excused, yes? 'Abd al-Wahhab?

The questioner : Three?
Another questioner: Dancing, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Three?

The questioner : Three.

The Shaykh : Yes, fine. Yes.
