Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student: Shaykh, the author's statement: "and its case marker is omitted", does this imply that it is not permissible to omit the nominative marker or the genitive marker?

The Shaykh : Yes, the grammatical marker?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : When he said "and its case marker is omitted", he meant permissibility, whereas its omission may be obligatory; the default is to mention it.
The student: The nominative marker in "he came"? We say: Zayd, meaning: Zayd came.

The Shaykh : He is currently speaking about the object, he is speaking about the object, and the rule is mentioned by Ibn Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) in the chapter on the subject and predicate, where he said: "and omitting what is known"?
The student: Permissible.

The Shaykh : It is permissible; this is the default.
