The disagreement regarding the "fa'al" form "quwamin" in interpreting it as indicating relationship or exaggeration, and what is the criterion for determining which of the two meanings is intended?

The questioner : The disagreement regarding the "fa'al" form in interpreting it as indicating relationship or exaggeration is the basis for the disagreement among scholars regarding women who visit graves. What is the criterion for determining which of the two meanings is intended?

The Shaykh : No, women visiting graves is not permissible, because it is established in the hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he cursed women who visit graves.

The Shaykh : Yes, we interpret it, for example, the saying of Allah the Exalted: If someone were to say: "Does this mean abundance?" the meaning would not be coherent, because what is negated would be only the abundance of oppression. If we say it indicates relationship, it is correct to say that Allah negated the relationship of oppression to Himself, even if it were only once. In any case, there is a context, but if we say, for example, "Do not be a glutton," does the meaning mean "Do not eat at all?" No, it means "Do not eat excessively."
