Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Okay, my Shaykh, is it a condition that this Muslim be trained in combat, or is it anyone who is able to carry a weapon?
The Shaykh: Like the one who is attacked in his own home, must he be trained in combat?
The questioner : It is not obligatory, but my Shaykh, the reality indicates that there is no one to perform this obligation.
The Shaykh : Does the one who is attacked in his own home have to be trained?
The questioner : It is not obligatory, because he may not be able to.
The Shaykh : And so the answer is that he may not be able to, because the home can be your private home and my private home and other private homes, and all these homes become a home. Have you finished, so that we may conclude the session?
The questioner : I am finished, my Shaykh.
