The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. We ask your permission, Honorable Shaykh, for this call with our brother Ali from Jeddah. Go ahead, my brother Ali. Peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings. Good evening, Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Peace be upon you, and upon you be peace and Allah’s mercy. I have two questions, Honorable Shaykh.
The questioner:
The first question: What is the meaning of the saying of Allah the Exalted, “There is no [burden] in Surat al-Nur”[An-Nur 24:61]?
The Shaykh:
Yes. The first question: “There is no blame on the blind” means that seeking permission is for the sake of sight. So if a person is blind and cannot see, there is no blame on him for entering the house of the people with their permission, and he does not need for the women to veil themselves from him, according to the correct opinion. Yes.
