The Shaykh:
This matter regarding the family is not acceptable. He keeps repeating it, or else he requests the cancellation of the contract, and he is to be returned to what is lawful.
The questioner:
He is to be returned his money.
The Shaykh:
It is to be returned. This is a matter of dispute before the judge. If they reach a settlement and do not return to the Shari'ah judge, and if they reach a settlement, praise be to Allah.
