The Shaykh :"And he obligated the first in the case of Muslimah *** and permitted both forms in the case of Maslamah"
And he obligated the first. What is the first?
The student: The language of those who do not expect.
The Shaykh : The language of those who do not expect, is that it?
The student: Those who expect.
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: Those who expect.
The Shaykh : The first:
"And if you intend after deleting what was deleted *** then use the remainder"
Yes, so he obligated the first, which is the language of those who expect. It is the first:
"And if you intend after deleting what was deleted"
This first one, he obligated it in the case of Muslimah. So if you call a woman by the name Muslimah and you want to use the shortened form, what do you delete?
The student: The haa.
The Shaykh : The haa, so you say "Ya Muslima" on the language of?
The student: Those who expect.
The Shaykh : And "Ya Muslimu"?
The student: Those who do not expect.
The Shaykh : On the language of those who do not expect. Here, the language of those who expect is necessitated, because if we brought it on the language of those who do not expect and said "Ya Muslimu," the masculine vocative would be confused with what?
The student: The feminine.
The Shaykh : The feminine. Even if you assumed you were calling her from close by and said "Ya Muslimu," she would turn to you and say to you, "I am not a man," or not? Yes, but you say "Ya Muslima" on the language of?
The student: Those who expect.
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: Those who expect.
The Shaykh : On the language of those who expect. The reason for the obligation is that "obligated" is a command, and the command implies obligation. So the reason for the obligation here is fear of?
The student: Confusion.
The Shaykh : Fear of confusion. "And he permitted both forms"
Both forms: the language of those who expect and the language of those who do not expect: "in the case of Maslamah"
Maslamah is not a proper name. Maslamah is a noun of place for safety, a noun of place for safety. It is not a proper name. The masculine and feminine differ, but it is a noun of place, and a place can be made masculine or feminine for safety. You say Maslamah, meaning this place is safe, just as we say Mafazah (a desert) and Mahlukah (a place of destruction) and the like. For example, if you want to shorten Maslamah, you say, is that it? Muslima and Muslimu, because there is no confusion. And the summary of the matter now is that it is permissible for us in shortening to use two languages: the language of those who expect, and the language of those who do not expect. If confusion occurs, it is obligatory to adhere to one of them, and it is obligatory to?
The student: Deviate.
The Shaykh : Deviate from it. It is obligatory to deviate from it, and we bring the form that is not confused.
The student: It became a proper name.
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: It became a proper name, a man's name.
The Shaykh : If it is a proper name, it becomes transferred, transferred from a noun of place to a proper name.
The student: But will both forms apply to it?
The Shaykh : Both forms will apply to it, because it is not said that there is a woman named Maslamah at all, unlike Muslimah and Muslim, which are active participles, so they are distinguished by the haa.
And he obligated the first. What is the first?
The student: The language of those who do not expect.
The Shaykh : The language of those who do not expect, is that it?
The student: Those who expect.
