Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :
Perhaps his Lord, if he divorced you [all], would substitute for him wives better than you - submitting [to Allah], believing, devoutly obedient, repentant, worshipping, and traveling - [ones] previously married and virgins. عسى ربه إن طلقكن أن يبدله أزواجا خيرا منكن مسلماتٍ مؤمناتٍ قانتاتٍ تائباتٍ عابداتٍ سائحاتٍ ثيباتٍ وأبكارًا
[At-Tahrim 66:5]
Widows and virgins ثيباتٍ وأبكارًا
What is this?
The student: Correct.

The Shaykh : It is known that it is correct; there is no issue. No one, I mean, the Qur'an does not need [explanation]; the entire Qur'an is correct. But how did he say:
Widows and virgins ثيباتٍ وأبكارًا

The student: Plural of femininity

The Shaykh : Thibat is a plural of femininity. So what is it declined with?
The student: With the kasrah

The Shaykh : With the kasrah. Abkara is a broken plural.
The student: It is declined with the fathah

The Shaykh : It is declined with the fathah. Is that clear? Good. This is the sound plural of femininity.
