The student: ....?
The Shaykh : No. The word is wālid.
The student: and walaydī.
The Shaykh : Yes. There is a difference between them. If we say walaydī, it means: the father and the mother. If it is said walaydī, it is not expressed as walaydī.
The student: Walaydī.
The Shaykh : There is no .... meaning, if a person expresses it, we say: this expression is not correct. But walaydīna, if we become a group, it is clear, because if I say: our parents, and we are two, how many parents do they become? Four. If we become three, it becomes six.. and so on.
Therefore, some of the brothers who recite in Ramadan: O Allah, forgive us and our parents. This is not correct, except by way of approximation, because our parents are not the children of one man. Yes, if we were the children of one man, six of us, we would say: our parents, because our father is one and our mother is one. But if the mosque has a thousand people, is the father of each of us the father of the other? We are not brothers.
For this reason, walaydīna does not come except by way of approximation, meaning: the parents of each of us. Therefore, the correct expression in such a case is to say: Forgive us and our parents.
The student: .... mistake.
The Shaykh : No. This is the correct one.
The student: .....?
The student: But all those who perform Hajj, except for a few.
The Shaykh : There is no harm, the important thing in any case is that we cannot say: all of them .... or else all of them like this, but we are now analyzing it from the perspective of the Arabic language. The correct one in this, if we are a group, is walaydīna, because walaydīna does not occur except by way of approximation...
The student: His father and his mother?
The Shaykh : Yes, his father and his mother.
The Shaykh : No. The word is wālid.
The student:
My parents
