Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If you please, I would like to ask a few questions about the book *Fiqh al-Sunnah* and the commentary *Tammam al-Mannah* on it.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : I mean, I am reading the fiqh and reading *Tammam al-Mannah*, which you authored.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : But some things are difficult for me, so I would like to ask you.
The Shaykh : Please, go ahead.
The questioner : My master, regarding relieving oneself, it writes in the hadith: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wore a ring engraved with 'Muhammad, Messenger of Allah'; so when he entered the place of relief, he would remove it."
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : It writes, he himself, "Sayyid Sabiq," that the first part of the hadith is authentic, while the second part is defective.
The Shaykh : What is the first part?
The questioner : "That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wore a ring engraved with 'Muhammad, Messenger of Allah'."
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Yes, while the second part is: "So when he entered the place of relief, he would remove it."
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Is this the defective part?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : So what is the ruling on entering the place of relief with something on which the name of Allah is written?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible if the name is clearly visible.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : But if it is hidden, like a small mushaf in a pocket where nothing of it shows, then there is no harm in entering the place of relief with it.
The questioner : I mean, if one wears, for example, a gold chain on which it is written.
The Shaykh : Yes, it is not permissible.
The questioner : It must be removed.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Yes, but you did not comment on it in *Tammam al-Mannah*.
The Shaykh : I did not comment on everything; my focus in the commentary was...
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : ...on the prominent aspects, especially regarding weak hadiths and others.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : I mean, I am reading the fiqh and reading *Tammam al-Mannah*, which you authored.
The Shaykh: Yes.
