"But rather, jurisprudence, literature, and permissible, known poetry"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : After this, we return to the author's words: "But rather, jurisprudence, literature, and permissible, known poetry". This means it is permissible to promise her that he will teach her jurisprudence. What is the closest thing he can teach her from jurisprudence? It is the jurisprudence of marriage, menstruation, and the full ritual bath. Yes, these are matters related to them. So, this is the jurisprudence. As for literature, what is this literature? Is it religious literature or technical literature? It could be either religious or technical. Technical literature is the known discipline currently studied in institutes and universities, which involves knowing the conditions of the Arabs, their poetry, and what is related to this. And permissible, known poetry: the author stipulated that it must be permissible and that it must be known. This means ten verses from a specific meter, such as the long meter, the rajaz meter, or another. So, if he said, "I promise to teach her Ibn 'Abd al-Qawi's poetry on jurisprudence," and he teaches it to her, how many verses is that? Fourteen thousand verses. Is that a lot or a little? It is a lot. So, if he teaches her Ibn Malik's Alfiyyah, that is also a lot, and it is also a difficult science. If he teaches her the poem "Bantat Su'ad," is that permissible? It is permissible, as it is permissible, known poetry. If it is forbidden poetry, such as erotic poetry or the like, then it is not permissible because it is forbidden. Now, the time has ended.
