Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We hear these days about excessive strictness, and what does excessive strictness mean? I don't know how to explain it. All right, the question is clear.
Answer:
Excessive strictness in religion is not permissible, and leniency is not permissible either. The middle path is the best of things, and the middle path is the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So, excessive strictness is not permissible, and leniency is not permissible in matters of religion. The middle path is the good and the prescribed way for the Muslim. Yes.
