The conversation highlighted the pitfalls of relying solely on personal opinions (&#8220;makhakhian&#8221;) and the importance of speaking with certainty and reference to established texts. Below is a summary of the key points from this enlightening talk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among our Egyptian brothers and teachers, there is an expression that signifies the importance of grounding one&#8217;s responses in established knowledge rather than personal speculation. This term, &#8220;makhakhian,&#8221; refers to speaking from one&#8217;s own thinking without proper basis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The discussion highlighted that some scholars, when asked whether something is halal (permissible) or haram (forbidden), might respond based on their own thoughts without a textual basis. They might turn right and left, shake their head, and declare something halal or haram without solid grounding. This kind of speculative response is discouraged.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The term &#8220;makhakhian&#8221; serves as a reminder not to speak from one&#8217;s own unfounded opinions. Instead, teachers and scholars are urged to speak with reference to texts and established knowledge. The importance of transmitting knowledge with precision was emphasized, underscoring that knowledge should be shared with certainty and humility.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One key point made was that knowledge is about certainty. To &#8220;know&#8221; something means having certain knowledge about it, whether in negation or affirmation. Saying &#8220;I think&#8221; without certainty is inadequate, especially in matters of faith and practice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A humorous but telling example was given where philosophers who adhered to the principle of constant doubt might even say, &#8220;I think God exists.&#8221; The response suggested was to give them a tangible experience to affirm God&#8217;s existence, emphasizing that certainty is crucial.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teachers should refrain from speculative answers. Instead, they should review and provide informed responses later if needed. This approach ensures that knowledge is transmitted responsibly and accurately.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The session concluded with a reflection on the responsibility of teachers to impart the etiquette of knowledge and its transmission. This means avoiding &#8220;makhakhian&#8221; responses and ensuring that knowledge is shared with integrity and trustworthiness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>YouTube Link:<\/strong> For those interested in watching the full lecture, please click on the following link: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/mX1a_Jp3iUk\">Watch the Full Lecture<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong> This discussion serves as a valuable reminder for educators and students alike.
