Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : There is nothing in the four. Ha.
The Shaykh : They are all possible, were it not for the fact that this matter occurred with this group and that they succeeded somewhat and prospered, there would be no issue. The major point is that it is not permissible for a woman to be appointed to matters such as what we see; we hold that it is not permissible. Ha, in the face of Khalid. Especially if we say that these people would have prospered more if they had appointed a man to their affairs.
The questioner : In the face of Faris.
The Shaykh : And what is it?
The questioner : Prosperity is apparent, but in internal politics.
The Shaykh : No, I am not asking, no, I am not asking.
The questioner : O Shaykh.
