The questioner:
The questioner, Wiam, says: Shaykh, I have a large company and I write my correspondence on paper using the Gregorian calendar.
The Shaykh:
Did that surprise you?
The questioner:
I have something to say about that.
The Shaykh:
If people are using the Gregorian calendar, do not separate yourself from them, because that is something that harms you. However, if you are in a country that uses the Hijri calendar, you use the Hijri calendar.
