Why Such Confusion By Ghamidi Sahib?
Also, Dr. Sajid Hameed from Al-Maurid in one of his classes answered exactly the same question as the one in the video. Not sure if I can explain Dr. Hameed’s answer and example as beautifully as he did but I’ll try. Dr. Hameed said (about the logic of Fa-il and Maf-oom) “My mother used to write weekly letters to my brother. So grammatically I can correctly say “my mother writes/is a writer” but does this mean she is a writer in the sense of an author of published books? Obviously no. Therefore the ‘Fa-il’ ‘maf-oom’ logic cannot be taken so simplisticly A person doing kufr is doing just that – a kufr – to assume he is a kafir because of that kufr, is not correct and is not for us to state and only Allah will make a ruling on it.
