Interjection on the free line for fatwa

The questioner:
There is an interjection from Shaykh Husayn al-‘Ubaydi, so please go ahead. The interjection is limited to one minute, Shaykh Husayn, so…

Another questioner:
And prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. As for what follows, I truly thank the Ministry of Islamic Affairs for this meeting, and I ask Allah to make it beneficial for everyone. My point is to affirm what concerns the free line that is run by a select group of students of knowledge. The Ministry has taken an important step in the matter of establishing this line and increasing the number of lines. Also, this year, what concerns the problematic issues that are referred via the phone to another phone has been increased. And I would like to affirm the issue of this phone and its importance and the pressing need for it. Based on that, it has not been out of the sight of those in charge of it, but I hope for an increase in the number of lines on one hand. And on the other hand, also what concerns whether it is possible to diversify the locations, meaning it is currently in one place in al-‘Aziziyah; is it possible that it also be in other places so that the lines increase greatly? Especially since the need is urgent, and these phones, especially with the passing of days, hardly cease around the clock. I ask Allah to grant you success in all good, and to make all our actions sincere for His noble Face. And peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.

The Shaykh:
His answer is with you.

The presenter:
Yes. Regarding the free line, what the Honorable Shaykh mentioned is correct, and the Ministry is now striving to develop the free line so that it is in more than one location, indeed in all the awareness centers, if Allah wills. And perhaps this, if Allah wills, will be accomplished during this year or next year or the one following it, with the help of Allah.
