Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The author says:
"Or with that to which the second is added"
This means: if the *al* is in the position of the *mudaf ilayh* (the word to which something is added), specifically the *mudaf ilayh* of the *mudaf ilayh*, meaning the one to which the second is added, meaning in the third position, it is present in the third, meaning it exists in the first, is absent in the second, and exists in the third. Is this permissible? Yes.
The student: In the case of *lafziyyah* (apposition by form)?
The Shaykh : And it is *lafziyyah*; all of it in the *kamil* (complete form) is *lafziyyah*. "The striker of the head of the wrongdoer." Put down your pens. The *al* is in the first and the third, but not the second. Is this permissible or not?
The student: It is permissible.
The Shaykh : It is permissible. The reason for its permissibility is that since the third is accompanied by *al* and the second is added to it, the second becomes as if it is accompanied by *al*. This is the reason for its permissibility. So the summary now is that if *al* is in the first and the second, it is permissible, or not?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Do you see that our discussion is about *lafziyyah*? Because *ma'nawiyyah* (apposition by meaning) is not permissible if it is in the first and the third?
The student: It is permissible.
The Shaykh : It is permissible. Now, what if it is in the first and the fourth?
The student: If there is a fourth.
The Shaykh : Then there becomes a fourth.
The student: It is permissible.
The Shaykh : It is permissible, like: "The striker of the head of the slave of the wrongdoer," or not?
The student: Yes, indeed.
The Shaykh : "The striker of the head of the slave of the wrongdoer." *Jabalu*, because *Jab* assisted the wrongdoer in the crime. Yes, he said: We strike the head of the slave, and Allah answers the master. Now, is it possible?
The student: Does it become five and six?
The Shaykh : It becomes five and six. It does not contradict; it becomes five and six. The important thing is that if it is in the first and the last, like this? In the first and the last, or in the first and the second. That is to say, if we suppose there are many multiple additions, it is permissible, as long as, because if it is in the last, then the *mudaf ilayh* is like the one with *al*, then the *mudaf* to the *mudaf ilayh* is like the one with *al*, then the *mudaf* to the *mudaf ilayh* is like the one with *al*, until we reach the first. He said:
"Or with that to which the second is added *** like Zayd, the striker of the head of the wrongdoer".
"Or with that to which the second is added"
This means: if the *al* is in the position of the *mudaf ilayh* (the word to which something is added), specifically the *mudaf ilayh* of the *mudaf ilayh*, meaning the one to which the second is added, meaning in the third position, it is present in the third, meaning it exists in the first, is absent in the second, and exists in the third. Is this permissible? Yes.
