The questioner : Regarding "where," if we say, "I know where Zayd is," and then say, "Where is Zayd," is it considered a general term?
The Shaykh : No, it is not permissible.
The questioner : No. If we say... "Where is Zayd" means "What is the location of Zayd."
The Shaykh : No, it is not acceptable; it does not hold up, because "where" is a source particle, and it is not permissible for it to precede the source.
The Shaykh : No, it is not permissible.
