1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,889
For example, Al-Shanqiti—
may Allah ﷻ have mercy on him.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,200
The great scholar, exegete, and usuli was
Muhammad al-Amin al-Shanqiti.

3
00:00:10,700 --> 00:00:16,700
He then addressed what seemed
a disputed issue.

4
00:00:18,420 --> 00:00:27,940
It was whether a woman's face
was adornment that may be shown or not.

5
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:39,860
He said, "To understand this issue,
we must examine each verse on adornment."

6
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:53,180
"Bring all verses on adornment,
and study them; the Qur'an self-explains."

7
00:00:54,060 --> 00:00:59,230
He said, "Bring all the verses:
is the face part of the adornment?"

8
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,660
"They must not display their adornment
except what ordinarily appears thereof."

9
00:01:01,744 --> 00:01:03,060
He said: "Face and hands."

10
00:01:03,144 --> 00:01:08,399
Is the face, for example, part of
the adornment that may appear, or not?

11
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,000
He brought all the verses together,
then led us to a conclusion.

12
00:01:13,700 --> 00:01:18,840
He said all the Quran's verses on
adornment point to the same thing.

13
00:01:19,460 --> 00:01:31,780
Adornment in the Quran
comes from outside the self to enhance it.

14
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:38,720
Allah ﷻ said, "Indeed, We made what
is on the earth an adornment for it."

15
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,480
"An adornment for it."

16
00:01:41,940 --> 00:01:44,996
Meaning, it is an adornment for it,
something distinct from it.

17
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:50,000
And this is an adornment for it:
something it adorns itself with.

18
00:01:50,084 --> 00:02:00,420
Likewise, about the sky:
"Indeed, We adorned the lowest heaven."

19
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,000
With stars as adornment.

20
00:02:03,084 --> 00:02:06,760
Then he cited the verses
and drew a conclusion.

21
00:02:06,844 --> 00:02:09,936
In the Qur'an, adornment means
something external.

22
00:02:10,020 --> 00:02:15,880
Thus it does not support taking
"what appears thereof" as face and hands.
