Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : As for estimating it, this requires memorization. Memorization means, in twenty-five, thirty-six, forty-six, sixty-one, seventy-six, sixty-one, sixty-one, these rely on memorization; there is no fixed rule for them. As for the final rule, if it exceeds one hundred and twenty-one by one, then there are three bint labun, and then the obligation stabilizes. Now, the rule applies when it exceeds one hundred and twenty-one by one; at that point, the rule comes into effect. What is the rule? For every forty, there is one bint labun, and for every fifty, there is one haqah. Based on this rule, the obligation must change every time it increases by ten. Okay, we say that now, in one hundred and twenty-one, there are three bint labun. Okay, what about one hundred and thirty?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : ... Okay, if it exceeds one hundred and twenty-one, there are three bint labun, and then the obligation stabilizes; every time it increases by ten, the obligation changes. Look, the driver of this car, may Allah reward him with good... Okay, one hundred and thirty?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Let’s see how many groups of forty are in it?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Eight. Forty and forty is eighty, and fifty means there is one haqah and two bint labun, because for every forty there is one bint labun, and for every fifty there is one haqah. We have one hundred and thirty, which contains fifty once and forty twice, so it has two bint labun and one haqah. What about one hundred and forty?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : How many groups of fifty are in it? Two... two haqahs. How many groups of forty are in it?
The questioner : One.
The Shaykh : One, so it has one bint labun. So, in one hundred and forty, there are two haqahs and one bint labun. What about one hundred and fifty? Three haqahs. Easy. Three haqahs. Okay, if someone says, should I give three bint labun and one haqah?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Three bint labun and one haqah is not correct, because it must be less or more. Okay, what about one hundred and sixty?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : How many groups of forty are in it?
The questioner : Four.
The Shaykh : Four. Forty and forty is eighty, and forty is one hundred and twenty, and forty is one hundred and sixty. What about one hundred and seventy?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Three bint labun and one haqah. How come three bint labun? Why?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Because it contains forty three times. Forty and forty and forty is one hundred and twenty, and fifty?
The questioner : One.
The Shaykh : One, one haqah.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : No, no.
The questioner : Two hundred.
The Shaykh : No, one hundred and seventy. How?
The questioner : One hundred and seventy, O Shaykh, has four...
The Shaykh : Yes, we said it.
The questioner : One hundred and ninety.
The Shaykh : Four bint labun.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : No, yes, as long as the ten is not completed, there is nothing in it. And cut. Look now, how many did you say for one hundred and fifty?
The questioner : ... ..
The Shaykh : What about one hundred and sixty?
The questioner : Four bint labun.
The Shaykh : Four bint labun. What about one hundred and seventy?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : It contains fifty once and forty three times, so it has three bint labun and one haqah. This is one hundred and seventy.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Fifty, first, how many are in fifty? One haqah. Forty? One bint labun. How much is this?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : How much is this? One hundred and thirty. Forty?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : One hundred and seventy, so it is one haqah and three bint labun. There is no problem. Okay, one hundred and eighty? Two haqahs and two bint labun. Where did the two haqahs come from? From the one hundred, because the one hundred contains fifty and fifty, which is two haqahs. Eighty contains forty and forty, which is two bint labun.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Wait a minute, this is one hundred and ninety. Two hundred?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : The owner has the choice. Two hundred contains fifty four times, or not? Fifty four times. Their obligation is five haqahs.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, two hundred contains fifty four times, correct or not? So, four haqahs. It contains forty five times, so five bint labun. The owner is given the choice. It is said: if you wish, pay five bint labun, because two hundred contains forty, which repeats five times. And if you wish, give four haqahs, because two hundred contains fifty, which repeats four times. Is that clear, everyone? Yes, this is a rule with no problem.
The questioner : The problem is if it decreases.
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : Two hundred has four haqahs or five bint labun, but if it decreases by one?
The Shaykh : Yes, if it decreases by one, it becomes a cut. If it becomes two hundred minus one, calculate it as one hundred and ninety.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : And in ninety, there are three haqahs, meaning one hundred and fifty, and one bint labun, meaning forty. If it decreases from the increase of ten, follow the one before it. Yes?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : It is not possible. No, it is not possible. Fifty has three haqahs. If you make it three bint labun, there remains thirty, which has nothing in it, so it is not valid. If you make it four bint labun, you have wronged the owner, because four bint labun are only obligatory in one hundred and sixty. So, it must be five haqahs. And I told you the rule: every time it increases by ten, the obligation must change. It must. If more than ten remains with you, you have made a mistake. That is, if you divided, or for example, a number came to you, you divided it, and then more than ten remained, know that you are mistaken. Review it again. How many are in two hundred and fifty?
The questioner : Five haqahs.
The Shaykh : Five haqahs, because it contains fifty five times, correct? Fifty and fifty and fifty and fifty and fifty. Okay, two hundred and forty?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : One bint labun and four haqahs, correct?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Let’s see... two hundred and forty.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Okay, wait, let’s see. Two hundred and forty, how many times is forty in it?
The questioner : Six.
The Shaykh : Six times. Five for the two hundred, correct or not? And one forty. So, we can give six bint labun, or four haqahs for the two hundred and one bint labun. Correct, this is the rule. I think, if Allah wills, it is not a problem. But be careful not to make a mistake by taking the haqahs for the bint labun and the bint labun for the haqahs, or there is no problem. For every forty, there is one bint labun, and for every fifty, there is one haqah. Follow this. Okay, regarding cows, you did not read them, why? Because it exceeded five lines? It will be the one after it, if Allah wills.
