Please, my brother Muhammad from Jeddah. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. And peace. If you please, I have two questions. Please, the first question. The first question, and I apologize, is it permissible for me to transmit a fatwa if I heard it as it is? For example, if someone is inquiring about something and I heard the fatwa, is it permissible for me to transmit it? Okay, the second question? The second question is a follow-up on the topic of stoning before stoning the pillars, before marriage, if I, in the past years... I have translated. Yes. Before marriage. So what is required of me to do? Okay. And the other matter. The other matter. We mean now in the years. I mean. Yes. Your question is clear, O Muhammad, clear, clear. Your question. Thank you, thank you. Please, Shaykh Salih, transmitting the fatwa.
The Shaykh:
My brother, transmitting a fatwa is not permissible, because you may misunderstand it in transmitting it, and you do not transmit it as it is, except in dire necessity, if you do not find anyone to issue a fatwa for you from the scholars, if you do not find anyone to issue a fatwa for you and you are certain of the fatwa, then inform him of it. Yes.
