Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the matter of wearing trousers, there has been a lot of discussion when they are loose.
The Shaykh : What is it? What is it?
The questioner: Huh?
The Shaykh : What is this loose one?
The questioner : The trousers.
The Shaykh : What is it? The loose trousers.
The questioner : No, he has them tailored; he has them tailored for a person, loose trousers.
The Shaykh : What is it? I am asking you about the loose trousers in your world. We are a group of Salafis; we do not look into imagination; we look into reality.
The questioner : He has them tailored, O Shaykh; that the trousers are...
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you. You are talking about one thing, and the reality is another.
The questioner : No, I mean, this could be measured as a specific case; a specific case that a person has loose trousers.
The Shaykh : What is it? Have you seen it? Why do you not speak?
The questioner : I cannot tell you: No, and I cannot tell you: Yes. Some people wear loose trousers.
The Shaykh : I am asking you, have you seen the night now?
The questioner : It does not need evidence.
The Shaykh : You cannot say: I have not seen it.
The questioner : It does not need evidence.
The Shaykh : It does not need evidence.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Have you seen the loose trousers?
The questioner : Tailoring, O Shaykh.
The questioner : I am not telling the Shaykh to tailor loose trousers.
The Shaykh : O people, fear Allah.
The student : The Shaykh’s intention is that it does not exist.
The Shaykh : Be patient a little. The issue does not need all this discussion. You are looking for a hypothetical issue and you say: tailoring.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : I know what tailoring is.
The questioner : Tailoring, yes.
The Shaykh : I am asking you, have you seen it? Tell me yes, tell me: No. But you say: I do not know. How do you not know? It is one of two things: either you saw it or you did not see it. Otherwise, am I talking about Al-Albani?
The questioner : No, it is clear.
The Shaykh : Okay, why do you not answer me then?
The student : Have you seen the loose trousers or not?
The questioner : Maybe one or two people, but not the majority.
The Shaykh : There is no power nor strength except with Allah!
The student : Tell him: I have not seen it, O Shaykh, so that he can tailor it for you on both sides.
The Shaykh : There is no power nor strength except with Allah!
The student : May Allah help us and you.
The questioner: Everyone, if Allah wills.
The student : ... just the prayer.
The questioner : One minute so I can finish. One minute, one minute, be patient with me.
The Shaykh : Let him vent his frustration, O Shaykh. May Allah guide you.
The questioner : ... .
The student : The trousers are loose on me.
The questioner : I mean, maybe one or two people, but the overwhelming majority are tight and form-fitting. That is the overwhelming majority.
The Shaykh : ... .
The questioner : Widen your chest a little. Be patient, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : I do not walk with a person who does not respond to me at all.
The questioner : We respond to you. It is me, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : You do not respond. Have you seen it or not? You do not say: I saw it, and you do not say: I did not see it.
The questioner : It is as if he means...
The Shaykh : How can you say I walk with him.
The questioner : No, I am telling you the majority is that they are tight, but the loose ones...
The student : ... .
Another student: Have you seen loose trousers or not?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : O Shaykh, may Allah guide you. I wore these trousers in my time, but are you asking now about something real or are you asking about imagination?
The student : About imagination.
The Shaykh: Glory be to Allah!
The questioner : Okay, we have not seen it, O Shaykh, but in my question, if he tailored it, but we have not seen it.
The Shaykh : We are a group of Salafis; we do not issue rulings except on reality. Because if you tell me: I saw it; I will tell you: Describe it to me. And you will be unable to describe it. And at that point, I cannot tell you.
The questioner : No, it is possible that if it is... it is possible that these that the Turks wear, for example, loose trousers. They call them... do they not call them?
The Shaykh : Look, now you have shifted.
The questioner : No, because it is not defined. Its definition is this. I am telling you, the definition of the trousers themselves, its meaning. Is it in this concept, the tight one, which is this trousers only, or does it include others?
The Shaykh : Is the word "pants" (banṭāl) Arabic or foreign?
The questioner : Foreign.
The Shaykh : Okay, do the foreigners know loose trousers?
The questioner : No, they do not know them.
The Shaykh : You are living in imagination. You are influenced, without offense, by the group that wants to bring half-solutions to these things. I mean, they do not say: It is permissible, and they do not say: It is not permissible., this is not the subject of the discussion. The trousers are foreign clothing. They want to develop them to make them Islamic. How? We expose them. What is the ratio of exposure? Does it solve the problem of the trousers? The trousers, if you are convinced with me.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : That it is not permissible, I will ask you...
The Shaykh : What is it? What is it?
The questioner: Huh?
The Shaykh : What is this loose one?
The questioner : The trousers.
The Shaykh : What is it? The loose trousers.
