Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: My father (may Allah guide him), when he wakes us up for the Fajr prayer, he calls out to us.
The Shaykh:
It is.
The questioner:
He says: My father (may Allah guide him), when he wakes us up for the Fajr prayer, he calls out to us saying, "You Zionists, you disbelievers, you Jews, get up for prayer." We hope that you, Honorable Shaykh, will give him some advice, since he insults us with words that a Muslim would not say. What is your advice for him and for us?
The Shaykh:
You must be patient and get up; do not be sluggish and do not anger him. He does not say this except out of anger. So you should be the first to get up so that he does not utter these words. Do not anger him. It is not permissible for him to utter these words, but perhaps anger has taken hold of him because of you.
