Is the scale one or are there multiple?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... the believers [Al-A'raf 7:8] the scales for a single individual weigh all three things together.
The Shaykh : This is the brother's statement.
The questioner : Is it not valid to cite this verse for this statement?
The Shaykh : It is not apparent. No, because the scales differ according to what is weighed, so they are plural due to the difference in what is weighed. There are obligatory acts and voluntary acts, and there are obligatory acts, meaning the pillars of Islam, and obligatory acts other than those. Yes. Yes.
So those whose scales are heavy
