Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He says, and I think Khalid... he says that "Bazar Qutuna" is a seed used for medical treatment. The people of Iraq call it "Bazar Qutuna." Al-Azhari said, "I asked the people of Bahrain about it, and they said, 'We call it *thirqa*, a *thirqa* seed, which is *asfiyus*.' Is that right? *Asfiyus* is an Arabized word in *Lisan al-Arab*. Is there anyone from Bahrain here with us?
The questioner : Yasser.
The Shaykh : Come on, Yasser, what is this?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : A *thirqa* seed.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Okay, so we are back to *za'bal* and *batum*.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : What does he say?
The questioner : He said in *al-Qamus* that *batum*, with a damma... is a green seed.
The Shaykh : *Batum*, you mean?
The questioner : ... .
Another questioner: It is found in *al-Silsilah*.
The Shaykh : Your statement is like *batum*, *za'bal*, and *Bazar Qutuna*. *Bazar* means seed, and *Qutuna* refers to cotton plants, such as gourds of various kinds and what is similar to them, as stated in *al-Qamus* and *al-Mishbah al-Munir*. And he said in *al-Qamus* " *Batum*, with a damma, is *batum*; and with two dammas, it is *batum* and *batum*: the green seed or its tree. Its fruit is warming, moistening, and beneficial for coughs. And he also said: *Za'bal* is the cotton tree". And al-Mansur said in his commentary on this book and in his commentary on *al-Iqna'* " *Za'bal*, with the meter of *Ja'far*, is mountain barley". Yes?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : The people of the Hijaz, the people of the mountains, might know it.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Okay, let's see. The second one is also... this is in inheritance law.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions, and those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment. Our lesson today is "When the grain becomes hard and the ripening of the fruit becomes apparent, zakah becomes obligatory". It has been established previously that it must be owned by him at the time zakah becomes obligatory. So what is the time when zakah becomes obligatory?
