Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, may Allah reward you. I missed your explanation of his saying: Is it referring to the action of Ibn Mas'ud, or to the dung itself that he brought?
The Shaykh : It refers to the dung. We said that it refers to the dung, and we resolved the issue by noting that the referent is masculine. Yes?
The questioner : We hold that it is rajis (impure).
The Shaykh : It is, well, there is no issue with that, but this "rajis" means the referent. Therefore, the scholars said regarding the intention in the funeral prayer: If one says, "O Allah, forgive him," meaning this deceased person, and the deceased is female, it does not harm. Yes.
This is rajis (impure)
