Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, my father and mother play the card game of Bridge. They criticize me for studying knowledge, and they do not prevent me from praying or from reciting the Qur'an.
Answer:
Oh, glory to Allah! A student of knowledge playing Bridge? This is not fitting for students of knowledge! Playing Bridge is not fitting for anyone but the foolish. Do not play Bridge, and you are a role model; you are a student of knowledge whom people follow.
