If a singular noun is presented to us, how do we know its plural? Is it a broken plural or a sound masculine plural?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding this, if a singular noun is presented to us now, when do we pluralize it as a broken plural, and when do we pluralize it as another type, such as a sound masculine or feminine plural?

The Shaykh : If the conditions are met, if the conditions are met, it is pluralized as a sound plural, because the sound plural has specific conditions!

The questioner : So, is it preferred then?

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : And if the conditions are fully met?

The Shaykh : It is pluralized.

The questioner : And if they are not fully met, it is a broken plural.

The Shaykh : If they are not fully met, we have no choice but the broken plural, even though a broken plural may exist for a word that also has a sound plural.

The questioner : Shaykh!

The Shaykh : Yes?

The questioner : The plural of abundance...

The Shaykh : Huh?
