We are still with you live on air, and this question has come to us, which we are often asked about, O Shaykh. Some people say: O Shaykh, one shares hadith via mobile phone regarding prayer or maintaining family ties, and they gather. Is this considered one of the gatherings that the angels surround and that mercy covers?
The Shaykh:
Do not consider gatherings to be ones in which the angels are present, for those are the gatherings that take place in circles of knowledge and circles of dhikr (remembrance of Allah), and they are better when held in mosques.
