Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Regarding sessions of bid'ah (religious innovation), such as the bid'ah of the Mawlid and the like, is it said that he is an innovator?
The Shaykh:
Yes, if he sits with them without denouncing them, he is like them. Yes. As for the issue of menstruation, it is not sufficient; one must also see the white.
What about the companions? If she sees purity, that is sufficient. If the blood stops and she sees purity, she takes a bath. If she does not see the white, she waits. Yes. Even if she sees a yellowish discharge, may Allah forgive you, after she has seen purity. No. No, she does not start her fast. She waits until the yellowish discharge stops. Yes. Yes. Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar. Oh. La ilaha illa Allah. O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon his family and his companions, and peace. O Allah, Lord of this perfect call, and blessings and peace upon our master Muhammad.
