The Ruling on Placing Coins in the Mosque, the Scent of Yusuf, and Prostration
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Knowing that I called, am I correct? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
As long as placing the coins is done as others do it, and speaking is according to the system of the honorable [Shaykh], there is no blame on him for that.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good. Allah the Exalted said: I seek refuge[An-Nahl 16:98]. [Yusuf 12:94]. Is the intended meaning of this verse a specific scent for Yusuf (peace be upon him)? Or was there a feeling in his father? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
As appears in the noble verse, when the [garment] was separated, meaning it left the mosque, it was separated, meaning it left the town, like His saying, the Exalted: "So when Talut had gone out of the soldiers," meaning he left the town heading to the direction he intended. And the wind is as it is on its apparent meaning; the scent of Yusuf (peace be upon him) reached his father from a great distance, and this is among the miracles of the Prophets (peace and blessings be upon them), and this is among the miracles

وَلَمَّا فَصَلَتِ الْعِيرُ قَالَ أَبُوهُمْ إِنِّي لَأَجِدُ رِيحَ يُوسُفَ لَوْلَا أَن تُفَنِّدُونِThe Shaykh:
