The questioner:
He says: Sometimes I meet some people who greet me and ask me a question, saying, "How is your faith?" Is this question prescribed?
The Shaykh:
How are you?
The questioner:
Your faith.
The Shaykh:
Yes, this is an embarrassment. It is an embarrassment. What does he want? To praise himself and say, "I am a good believer"? This question is not appropriate. He should ask, "How is your body? Are you healthy or sick?" Yes.
