The questioner : I have a question.
The Shaykh : Yes, go ahead.
The questioner : Is it correct: "I studied with the best ijtihad"?
The Shaykh : The best ijtihad?
The questioner : I studied with the best ijtihad.
The Shaykh : It is not correct, it is not correct.

The questioner : The previous example: "I killed him by slaughter"?
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : You said: a conceptual verbal noun.
