Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : This Egyptian young man asked you this question once. He said, "My daughter is dead." Is he saying this?
The Shaykh : What did I say?
The questioner : Mister, he is asking you this question.
The Shaykh : I understand. Everyone is confused. What is it?
The questioner : He told you that this is the statement of Ibn Taymiyyah. So, do you mean...?
The Shaykh : So, he strives in the path of providing for the children, and without a doubt, he finds fatigue and hardship in that. But he must bear it. Likewise, she stays in her house, and as it is said, "Sit, for you are the one who eats and wears." It is not upon her to work as the man works, but her work is her rope. So, she must be patient with this matter. This is what I want to draw attention to. And we ask Allah to guide men and women to submit to the rulings of the Shari'ah.
