Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, father, did either of your parents have an influence on you in your pursuit of knowledge?
Answer:
Yes, my mother (may Allah have mercy on her). My father passed away when I was very young, when I was three years old. My father died when I was a small child, three years old. But my mother (may Allah have mercy on her) encouraged and urged me to seek knowledge and to understand the religion. She passed away in 1356 AH, and I was twenty-six years old. She passed away (may Allah have mercy on her) when I was twenty-six, one year before I went to al-Kharj. May Allah have mercy on her.
