Question:
Q: Al-fuysiqah...?
Answer:
The mouse. They used to make lamps with wicks in oil and fat. Sometimes the wick would be drawn along because of the smell of the fat and oil, and sometimes the wick would run over the goods, causing the fire to intensify on the items. In any case, the electricity might also be disrupted; therefore, extinguishing the lamps is a prescribed matter.
