Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, did Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) grant a dispensation for women to visit graves? We have heard people saying so.
The Shaykh:
The one who says that should clarify it for us. He should prove it, provide us with what indicates this, and answer by citing the words of the scholars and lying about them. No, we know that the Shaykh combats women’s visits to graves.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, a man underwent a surgical operation.
The Shaykh:
Usually, he presents the statements, presenting the statements of the scholars and the statements of those who disagree, and then a ignorant or hasty person comes along and cuts off the speech, saying, "The Shaykh mentioned it, he mentioned it, he mentioned it," but he did not complete the speech. How did he mention it? He did not complete the Shaykh’s speech. How did he mention this and why did he mention it? Yes.
