The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the saying of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)[Al-Layl 92:3-4], is it permissible for you?
The Shaykh:
The argumentation with this verse.
The questioner:
Life.
The Shaykh:
That a woman's work.
The questioner:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
[is different] from the man's in life, so each has his domain for which he was created. So the verse that follows, my brother,[Al-Layl 92:5-10] this is the meaning of His saying "diverse."
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the saying of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)
(3) And [by] He who created the male and female, (4) Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰThe Shaykh:
The argumentation with this verse.
The questioner:
Life.
The Shaykh:
That a woman's work.
The questioner:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
[is different] from the man's in life, so each has his domain for which he was created. So the verse that follows, my brother,
(5) As for he who gives and fears Allah (6) And believes in the best [reward], (7) We will ease him toward ease. (8) But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need (9) And denies the best [reward], (10) We will ease him toward difficulty.
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
