Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : 'Arafah is a day of release. Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) releases the most people on the Day of 'Arafah. Does this include the pilgrim and others?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The student : Yes, our Shaykh!
The Shaykh : I tell you: We do not like this supplication.
The student : Yes, my Shaykh, because it implies that he is bound and then released?
The Shaykh : What does "bound" mean?
The student : I mean that he has sins, so he is released from them.
The Shaykh : No, I mean that he is supposed to deserve punishment, so he asks for release.
The student : Yes.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The student : Yes, our Shaykh!
The Shaykh : I tell you: We do not like this supplication.
The student : Yes, my Shaykh, because it implies that he is bound and then released?
The Shaykh : What does "bound" mean?
The student : I mean that he has sins, so he is released from them.
