The questioner:

The Shaykh:
This is the point of difficulty and subject to study.
The questioner:
And between the two, an event occurs; you see in the gatherings, you see in the illnesses, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) knew between the journeys, so do not offer him a prayer for forty days.
The Shaykh:
For it is not permissible to buy magazines that contain astrology, or claims of knowledge of the unseen, or fortune-telling; it is not permissible to buy them, nor books, nor books of atheism, disbelief, and obscenity; it is not permissible to buy these things.
