The questioner : He says: May the Shaykh be respected, it is well known that boys and girls have a lot of free time during this vacation, as they have nothing to do in the morning or the evening. So what is your guidance regarding summer centers for males and females?
The Shaykh : Yes. As for summer centers for males, I encourage them, provided that those in charge are people of knowledge, faith, and integrity. I encourage them because, in reality, they preserve the student's time and protect him from the aggression of the foolish. So I encourage my brothers to enroll their sons in these centers. And I ask Allah the Exalted to make them a place of good and blessing. As for women, I do not see that they should have centers. Even if centers were established, I do not see that a woman should go, because I fear expansion and development, and after that, we will not be able to prevent it.
The questioner : What about Qur'an circles, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes? No. Qur'an circles are good. I mean, for example, women go to Qur'an circles and learn the Qur'an; that is good.
This session ends here, because it has exceeded the scheduled time, as it is our custom to establish the prayer at two o'clock by Arab time. We ask Allah the Exalted to make what has occurred sufficient, and to reward everyone for this attendance and for listening and hearing. And all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
The questioner : May Allah reward the respected Shaykh with the best reward, and may Allah send blessings and peace and mercy upon His servant and messenger Muhammad.
