Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : As we read it, as we read it, we read it: "No," and we do not write it: "Lo," and so on. There is a lot of this, what is its status?
The questioner : Hmm, am I not bound by the script of the mushaf?
The Shaykh : No, the mushafs are not bound by the script of the mushaf, the mushafs.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : They are not bound by the system of writing the Uthmanic mushaf, and this is a matter in which scholars have differed since ancient times.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : To this day, the question comes to me and to others.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Is it permissible to write the mushaf in a style other than the Uthmanic script? The answer: It is permissible, provided that the Uthmanic script is preserved.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And by that, we combine preserving the heritage, as they express it today,
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : with making it easy for the general readers to read the mushaf correctly.
The questioner : Yes, indeed!
The Shaykh : As it was revealed.
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh : And so, here I broke two images.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Here there is one separated, and another assimilated.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : I don't know if it came with you or not?
The questioner : By Allah, O Shaykh, this stopped me, perhaps.
The Shaykh : Or is it in another place? I don't know.
The questioner : Perhaps it is in another place.
The Shaykh : O Allah, are you asking about the answer to a supplication or supplications?
The questioner : O Shaykh, you are above this, by Allah. The sin is a sin, and Hasan is always... rather, by Allah, if you were residing in Oman, I would be honored to serve you, for you are one of the people of knowledge.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good and accept from you, and your intention is better than your deed, if Allah wills.
