The Shaykh: Sleep.
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.
The questioner : The Shaykh al-Albani. Yes. How are you? All right?
The Shaykh: Not bad, praise be to Allah.
The questioner : Praise be to Allah, I am your sister from Algeria.
The Shaykh: Welcome from Algeria.
The questioner : Yes, Shaykh, I, I have a question. It is. It is as follows: What is the ruling on one who delivers religious lessons to a group of sisters and there is no hijab, meaning no screen, between him and them?
The Shaykh : If he is an elderly shaykh, secondly.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : If it is permissible for him to do so, otherwise it is not.
The questioner : For example, he is forty-five years old. I
The Shaykh : I do not want you to give me examples; rather, I want you to understand what is being delivered to you. So I. I told you an answer which, in my opinion, is a comprehensive and exclusive answer, as they say: if he is an old Shaykh
The questioner : Professor Majid.
The Shaykh : who is not affected by looking at beautiful faces, which may be, or eyes that may captivate the hearts, then it is permissible; otherwise, it is not.
The questioner : Peace be upon you. May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : I think you understood me. I understood well, our Shaykh. May Allah bless you. And may He bless you.
The questioner : Because, our Shaykh, this Shaykh has delivered religious lessons to us, specifically in 'aqidah (creed), and he permitted that. And I said he is forty-five years old. Did you understand, our Shaykh?
The Shaykh: How could I not understand clear Arabic speech?
The questioner : May Allah bless you. So he told us, meaning, the conditions for that: it is permissible for any person to deliver religious lessons without a screen, but the condition is that he be married and not be handsome, for example. Is that what he told us?
The Shaykh : Okay, if I were in his place. And. And if he were, for example, a young man in the prime of his life. A matter. Does he permit that even though he is married? Where? I think you did not pay attention to my words. Peace. Peace. I say he stipulated that he be married. Yes. Perhaps he is in the prime of his youth and the strength of his manhood. Yes. And if that is the case, meaning, he says, as long as he is married, it is permissible? To deliver that without a screen. Meaning, do you think he says it is also permissible? Yes, he said to him two conditions only: that he not be a source of temptation and that he be married. I know, but. Yes. He did not provide a detail for the word "one who does not cause temptation." Professor. He did not provide a detail. Therefore. He will not care about that. Okay, so it is necessary to ask him for details. Hello, Stan. Perhaps you understood me? Yes, indeed. And therefore it must be that he means. That is. He is of an age that is most like what concerns the opposite sex, which is women. How did our Lord say[An-Nur 24:60], so if there are men sitting, then this would be from among them
The questioner : Yes, indeed.
The Shaykh: Perhaps you understood me?
The questioner : Yes, we understood, may Allah bless you, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And she is in.
The questioner: So the condition is that he be a Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes, that he be a Shaykh, not just a Shaykh in knowledge. The third. But also a Shaykh in age. Age as well. Yes. Yes, indeed, may Allah bless you. You.
The questioner : I say, because this Shaykh, or Abu, did you hear about him? It is Shaykh al-'Ayd in Algeria.
The Shaykh : Which Shaykh? Al-'Ayd. Al-'Ayd. Yes, Abu 'Abd al-Bari. Abu 'Abd al-Bari. This. Yes, we heard.
The questioner: Yes, this is our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : I am telling you. If. You can convey to him first my greetings, and then that he call me to discuss this specific point with me,
The questioner : If Allah wills.
The Shaykh: if you are able to, and I do not want to put you in an awkward position.
The questioner : But. Yes.
The Shaykh: Okay, is there anything else?
The questioner : Better, no, may Allah bless you, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh: And you.
The questioner: Try, if Allah wills, to contact him, and may there be a call between you two, with the permission of Allah.
The Shaykh : If Allah wills.
The questioner : May Allah bless you, our Shaykh. And the sisters in Algeria send you their salam.
The Shaykh : And upon you and them be peace.
The questioner : The salam, so the salam is peace upon you and the mercy of Allah.
