The Shaykh : If we stop at your question, I would tell you: it is not permissible. But you can adjust your question; can you?
Another questioner : The wife is alive, but she is unable, for example, she is sick?
The questioner : We said.
The Shaykh : No; can you adjust it?
Another questioner : ... [Everyone laughs!]
