The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it true that the scarcity of rain and the lack of greenery that befell the people of Ta'if was due to their actions toward the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?
The Shaykh:
This is a matter that has passed and ended in its time. The people of Ta'if have produced men who are mujahideen and scholars, and, praise be to Allah, the situation has changed and transformed with it.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
What befell them was due to their current actions, the sins they commit, and the violations they engage in, yes.
