Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, there are many questions. I will present to your eminence whatever of them is feasible. This questioner says: If I want sustenance from this world, is it permissible for me to fast three days in order to obtain this sustenance?
The Shaykh:
I do not know of anything in this matter, that prayer is legislated so that you obtain what you seek.
The questioner:
There are many questions asking about the weekly lesson for next week because it conflicts with the exam. Will there be lessons?
The Shaykh:
By Allah, this is up to you. If you wish for the lesson to end so that you can devote yourselves to the exams, there is no objection on my part. If you prefer that I continue the lesson, I have no objection, if Allah wills. So what is it?
The questioner:
And they want it to be lighter.
The Shaykh:
And let me make it lighter.
The questioner:
Allah.
The Shaykh:
[Al-Baqarah 2:185] It does not conflict with the night of Tuesday, which is the night of Wednesday, and it will be suspended until you return to your studies.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
