What is your opinion of the one who says this?
The Shaykh:
Khadijah, may she take the place of her mother. What kind of speech is this from a person who does not understand? He married Khadijah just as other men marry women, and Allah has made that permissible. He made this permissible for men. This is the way of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). He did not marry her so that she would compensate him for his mother. Who said this? Yes.
The presenter:
And this questioner says: May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
If your mother were alive, and you had a wife, would you leave the marriage? That is not logical. Yes.
