The questioner : If they are grazing livestock...
The Shaykh : How are they grazing livestock?
The questioner : ...at night.
The Shaykh : Which is greater: what they graze on, or what is brought to them?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, but is the greater portion of their food what is given to them, or the greater portion is what they graze on? Otherwise, what you said means that during the day he leaves them in the valleys to eat, but if the valleys have nothing in them, or only a little, and the greater part of what they eat is provided by their owner, then they are not grazing livestock, yes?
