Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement I : Rukn Hawa is lateef because of its Haar Ratab (hot and moist) Mizaj.
Statement II : The characteristic of Yabusat is not accepting and leaving the shapes easily.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• A. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
• B. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
• C. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
• D. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Hint:

Haar Ratab makes Rukn Hawa subtle; Yabusat implies resistance to shape change.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Statement I is correct because in Unani philosophy, Rukn Hawa (air) is described as lateef (subtle or light) due to its Haar Ratab (hot and moist) temperament.
This nature allows air to penetrate easily and fill spaces, making it subtle and mobile.
Statement II is also correct — Yabusat means dryness, and dryness resists taking and changing shapes easily.
This is a classical characteristic that defines dry matter as firm and rigid in structure, retaining its form.
Therefore, both statements accurately describe the related Unani concepts.
Hence, the correct option is that both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
