Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The presenter:
All right, yes, Hamd from Riyadh, go ahead, Hamd.
The questioner:
Peace be upon you.
The presenter:
And upon you be peace.
The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe.
The Shaykh:
May Allah reward you with good.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good, Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
May Allah keep you safe.
The questioner:
We love you for the sake of Allah, Shaykh.
The presenter:
Ask your question.
The Shaykh:
The one in which you have taken an interest in us.
The questioner:
May Allah help us and you in this worldly life.
The Shaykh:
I mean, the answer.
The presenter:
Please proceed.
The questioner:
I have a fast, may you live long, of eight months. A fast of eight months; I don’t know, Shaykh, about the freeing of a slave; I haven’t reached that point. I don’t know how the method works?
The Shaykh:
Fasting eight months for what, my brother?
The questioner:
Four people were run over.
The Shaykh:
Four people were run over.
The questioner:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
Here.
The questioner:
She has reached it.
The Shaykh:
My dear.
The questioner:
People say there is freeing of slaves, or I don’t know how its authenticity is, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
The judge ruled upon you with fasting.
The questioner:
These eight months are for four people.
The Shaykh:
The judge ruled upon you.
The questioner:
Thank you.
The Shaykh:
The judge ruled upon you.
The questioner:
How is it?
The Shaykh:
My brother, listen, I say the judge ruled upon you that you must fast.
The questioner:
The judge did not rule with fasting; he ruled with error, eighty-five percent.
The Shaykh:
My brother, speak, may Allah guide you.
The questioner:
Yes.
The presenter:
The Shaykh is asking you. Did the judge rule upon you with fasting?
The questioner:
The Shaykh did not rule with the judge with fasting; the judge ruled upon me with error, eighty-five percent.
The Shaykh:
If this is the case, if the judge ruled upon you that you are eighty-five percent responsible for the accident, then you must fast for every soul, for every soul, two consecutive months. Freeing a slave, if you find a slave to free, that is the original ruling; freeing is the original ruling, if you find it, then free it. If he did not rule for every soul. Listen, my brother. If you do not find a slave to free, then you fast two consecutive months, or if you found one but could not afford it, you fast two consecutive months for every soul.
The presenter:
Thank you.
The Shaykh:
May Allah help you.
The presenter:
Thank you,
All right, yes, Hamd from Riyadh, go ahead, Hamd.
The questioner:
Peace be upon you.
The presenter:
And upon you be peace.
The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe.
The Shaykh:
May Allah reward you with good.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good, Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
May Allah keep you safe.
The questioner:
We love you for the sake of Allah, Shaykh.
