Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah guide you. The papers they have, O Shaykh, you tell them, O Shaykh, let him read them.
The Shaykh:

The questioner:
O Shaykh, how many copies do they make? O Shaykh, in...
The Shaykh:
The point is regarding what I cannot verify. Statements are not verified unless they come from a reliable source, such as the court or a known person, or a known legal office. Otherwise, the statement is not verified. But if a person gives a question, he intends something behind it. The questioner falls into three categories; the questioner has three states. The first state is that you know he is a liar, so you give him nothing and you rebuke him, you advise him, you tell him: Fear Allah, it is not permissible for you. The second questioner is one you know is poor and in need
