What is the argument of the one who says that the separating pronoun has a grammatical position?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : We do not know of any argument for it, except that we say this pronoun is a noun, and what is its evidence for being a noun? If it is a noun, it must have a grammatical position. So we say it is a letter in the form of a noun. Yes.

The questioner : Nouns...

The Shaykh : Yes

The questioner : Nouns...

The Shaykh : What?

The questioner : Among nouns, there are those that indicate... a grammatical position.

The Shaykh : Among nouns, there are some that do not have a grammatical position, meaning they are superfluous.

The questioner : No, it has no grammatical position.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : The built (mabni).

The Shaykh : How?

The questioner : Is built.

The Shaykh : The built (mabni), may Allah protect you, has a grammatical position. That is why we say it is built on sukun in the position of nominative, for example, or built on fath in the position of nominative, or built on damm in the position of nominative. Yes.
