Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : ... and His saying, the Exalted: "And if it is said to you, go back, then go back" [An-Nur 24:28], how do you reconcile this? It is a jurisprudential issue. So think and estimate, then answer.
The questioner : It is...
The Shaykh : There is no harm in you expressing it with your tongue, or at least with your heart, by saying, the Exalted:[Al-Qasas 28:35]; so there is no harm if your wit does not come to you, that your companion helps you; because you are partners in the right that you are stating; so what do you answer, you or he, to His saying, the Exalted: "And if it is said to you, go back" [An-Nur 24:28], along with this right that he pointed to, which is a right established in the Shari'ah?!
The questioner : It is ... the hadith or the athar that was reported from 'Umar ibn al-Khattab.
The Shaykh : May Allah forgive you, do not deviate from the answer. How do you reconcile the right of hospitality for three days, with anything beyond that being permissible and voluntary, and the verse?
The questioner : Perhaps, Shaykh,[An-Nur 24:28].
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : At the door before entering.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : But after entering, hospitality is obligatory upon you.
The Shaykh : You made a mistake.
The questioner : And why?
The Shaykh : Because you were not permitted to enter except on condition, and you accepted the condition, then you broke the condition.
The questioner : But whoever finds a way out, let him find a way out.
The Shaykh : Who found what?
The questioner : A way out, let him find a way out.
The Shaykh : Is this a hadith or what?
The questioner : This is from the speech of the Arabs.
The Shaykh : The speech of the Arabs.
The questioner : We return it with a hadith, my Shaykh:.
The Shaykh : Yes, and the speech of the Arabs is valid in the field and scope of knowledge?
The questioner : Except for two conditions: one that forbids what is lawful, or one that permits what is forbidden.
The Shaykh : Ah, and this is from which of the conditions?
The questioner : It did not permit what is forbidden, nor did it forbid what is lawful.
The Shaykh : So it is obligatory to fulfill it?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Forgive us.
The questioner : In the safety of Allah, we entrust you to Allah.
The Shaykh : But beware that you do not break the condition again.
The questioner : In the safety of Allah, peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner : If you wish, my house.
The Shaykh : Welcome.

We will strengthen your arm through your brother
