I didn't watch the video, but Children of Zinnah means illegitimate children. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks, and what about "Kufa"?

At what point does the Shaykh, mention that?

I think you might be asking about 'masah al-kuff' which refers to wiping over the socks in Wudhu 'Ablution'

unless he does mean kufa..as in kufa, a city in Iraq...

*bump* . . . . . . .

Oh, he said Kuffar *facepalm*. Didn't understand the accent. It sounded like "Kuffa". Doesn't that mean "Nonbeliever"? Why should the prayers of a whole congregation be invalid if the imam doesn't perform the wiping over the sock?

Mashah 'alal kuffain means to wipe over the socks (Wudhu).

As for children of zina, they are the children conceived outside marriage.

The sheikh is warning students of knowledge not to use logical deduction outside the boundary of an individual's knowledge.

I've seen only the first video, both examples point to warning of wrong deduction based on logic outside an individual's knowledge (or opinion in many cases).

كوفة is a city, كف is a sock.

Kuff doesn't mean non-believer; you can't substitute non-believers for socks, they just won't fit around the feet as well.

Invalidation isn't inherited in Islam, those who assume invalidation; can pray again, for those who don't assume invalidation; they're prayer isn't invalid. There's a famous hadeeth "إنما الأعمال بالنيات". Deeds are judged by intentions.
