Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : As for the Pool...
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : That is, the scholars say that if it were square, the corners would be more than a month away.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Now, in this square, the distance from here to here is very long, not the length of a month, whereas he says its length is a month and its width is a month.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : ... .
The questioner : The drinking will be from the sides.
The Shaykh : Then, usually, the Pool, the Pool of camels and the like, is mostly round, but we do not consider that; we consider that its length and width from all sides, if its length and width from all sides are a month, it must be round.
The questioner : A round thing does not have a length and a width.
The Shaykh : How? How? It has a length and a width.
The questioner : ... The length is the width.
The Shaykh : Yes, yes, that is right.
The questioner : If it is a circle, it is possible that from here to here is less than a month.
The Shaykh : Huh?
The questioner : If it is round, it is possible that from one end to the other is less than a month.
The Shaykh : How is this?
The questioner : If it is round like this.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And it was round like this.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : It reaches from here to here in less than a month.
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : It must originally be straight, not coming from the side.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Here.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : No, he said: The scholars said that it is round based on this hadith.
The questioner : It is possible that in their time there was nothing square...
The Shaykh : No, no, there is.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
