The questioner : In reality, people like these in the desert make excuses, claiming that the desert woman has masculine behavior, speech, and traits, so she is, for example, far from temptation. Also, the people of the desert say that they have a greater sense of honor than the city dwellers. How should one respond to such talk?
The Shaykh : The response to this talk is that the Shari'ah of Allah is one.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : But the desert, as Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said,[At-Tawbah 9:97], is far from the people of knowledge, the gatherings of knowledge, and understanding the religion of Allah, so they are ignorant of the rulings of the Shari'ah that many people in the cities know.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : But that does not mean that if they become accustomed to something or make it a habit, the legal ruling changes for them. The ruling of the Shari'ah is one. It is true that as temptation increases, one must be more careful to guard against it.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : But that does not mean that if we exclude temptation from our minds, we abolish the legal ruling because of that. There may be a thought among thoughts that we exclude, but Satan flows through the son of Adam like blood.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Do not exclude anything, for how many things have been presented to us and we have been asked about them, which in our view are very far away, and yet there occurred in them temptations that should not be mentioned here.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Well done.

The Shaykh : But the desert, as Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said,
more likely not to know the limits of what [laws] Allah has revealed to His Messenger
