Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Now, do we require that it be a moral exhortation and that the preacher be a moral exhorter?
The Shaykh : Yes. All right.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Even if he is not a moral exhorter, the speech may well be a moral exhortation, without a doubt. But if he delivers it coldly and without enthusiasm, as if he is reading to a group of people sitting there, it is true that it does not move the hearts,
The questioner : the intended purpose will be achieved.
The Shaykh : No, it opens the door, and some people will benefit from it.
The Shaykh : Yes. All right.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Even if he is not a moral exhorter, the speech may well be a moral exhortation, without a doubt. But if he delivers it coldly and without enthusiasm, as if he is reading to a group of people sitting there, it is true that it does not move the hearts,
The questioner : the intended purpose will be achieved.
The Shaykh : No, it opens the door, and some people will benefit from it.
