The questioner : What is the criterion for easing the burden?
The Shaykh : It is to be as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the hadith narrated by the group, which means in the hadith that one considers the one in need and the elderly person.
The questioner : The Sunnah. I am originally in the easing of the burden from a prepared perspective.
The Shaykh : The measure for easing the burden is what the Sunnah brought, okay, and if we were to follow people, there would be no criterion, okay.
