Is it possible to fulfill the wish of students of knowledge with weekly lessons?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Honorable Shaykh, there are many students of knowledge who desire to study under your guidance and drink from your knowledge. These are especially in the city of Riyadh or elsewhere, and in fact, many of them are in the city of Riyadh. Some aspire to weekly or periodic lessons from you in the city of Riyadh. Is it possible to fulfill this wish for the students of knowledge there?

Answer : Yes, it is possible to fulfill this if it is via telephone. As for me going there, that is not appropriate. People come to us, and we go to them; that does not happen. And praise be to Allah, the distance between Riyadh and my place now is only an hour and a half. Those who are keen can come here. He can come for a week, go back to his family for two days, and return, or settle here. The one in Riyadh is in Unayzah, and praise be to Allah, regarding the necessities of life, nothing remains but the feeling of being a stranger, although in reality I do not prefer this. It is not stinginess with knowledge; I wish for my knowledge to spread. Yes, that is better. But I want the scholars in Riyadh to also play their role. They should take charge of them so that the country is ordered.
