Do you promise the listeners that you will write a treatise on the preference of deeds so that the Muslim knows which deed is better and leaves the lesser one?

The questioner:
Returning to the beginning, Shaykh Salih, in a previous episode our discussion was about the preference of deeds. These questions are also raised regarding this topic. Do you not nominate a specific writer? Do you not promise the listeners that you will devote yourselves to such a work and explain the preference among many deeds so that the Muslim chooses what is better and leaves what is lesser until he has more time?

The Shaykh:
We have said that this varies according to the difference of people, the difference of circumstances, and it is not fixed by a general rule. Rather, this varies according to the circumstances, the people, and the conditions. The lesser deed may be the better one at some times for one of the reasons. Therefore, it is not possible to write a book that fixes these matters. Rather, rules are established; rules are established.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. Do you promise the listeners something of this nature?

The Shaykh:
Perhaps it will happen, if Allah wills.

The presenter:
May Allah.

The Shaykh:
Or we will find a book on this, if Allah wills.

The presenter:
O Allah, amen. May Allah do you good. May Allah reward you with good. And may He do you good.
