The questioner : What is currently well-known among the Shaykhs or among the preachers in general is that they focus on... Do you think it is more beneficial for the Ummah, in terms of educating people in general, to have scientific lessons? I mean, a scholar who is well-established in knowledge takes a text like *Nail al-Awtar*, *Subul al-Salam*, *al-Rawdah al-Nadiyyah*, or others, and explains it in the mosque, educating those around him in the mosque. Do you think this is more beneficial for the Ummah, or selecting lectures with specific titles, one lecture each week, for example, where he speaks about it and mentions some verses and hadiths? So the question is clear, right?
The Shaykh : I think it is clear.
The questioner : Praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh : Each of the two methodologies has its group of followers. I mean, *Nail al-Awtar* and *Subul al-Salam* are for students of knowledge, fifteen or twenty of them. As for the lectures, they are for the general public; what do they gather?
The questioner : I mean, you support delivering lectures on specific topics, for example.
The Shaykh : Why not?
The questioner : I remember I gave a lecture two years ago, which you remember; "How should we interpret the Qur'an?" It was a very excellent topic, and it was more of a methodology than a lecture.
Another questioner : ... .
The questioner : Yes.
Another questioner : ... .
The questioner : Banu Hashim... it was placing the dots on the letters regarding the topic of interpreting the Qur'an. So, do you support holding lectures?
The Shaykh : Why not?
The questioner : But how should their titles be? In general, what... are they selected according to the current reality and the state of society?
The Shaykh : The topic dictates the title; the title is taken from the topic itself. What is the topic of the lecture? ...
The questioner : For example, sometimes there is a specific event in a specific Muslim country, and he gives a lecture about its topic. Is that possible?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is possible, but it requires perhaps precise caution. I mean, he should be one who knows how the shoulder is eaten.
There is no power and no strength except with Allah. Welcome, Abu Muhammad.
Another questioner : Welcome.
The Shaykh : We have tormented you tonight.
Another questioner : We, O our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : So, without a doubt, I am certain that you have not had a tiring customer like this one.
Another questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
Another questioner : O our Shaykh, if you had not had a single customer, it would be... this customer.
The Shaykh : No, please.
Another questioner : By Allah, he is the customer we love most...
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good and bless you.
Another questioner : O Shaykh, by Allah, I mean it.
The Shaykh : In any case, I acknowledge the favor of your coming here; it was supposed to be me who came to you.
O Allah, O the Generous.
Another questioner : By Allah, O our Shaykh, I thought that I would even come to you from the car and take you to my workplace, and do the work for you at my workplace. I thought like that.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good. I hope you will not need it.
Another questioner : If Allah wills.
The Shaykh : At the nearest time and with the least effort, if Allah wills.
Another questioner : If Allah wills.
The Shaykh : Of course, you have not had the pleasure of drinking tea. What do you think? Shall we make you a cup of tea and you enjoy drinking it? Or do you prefer something cold, for example? What do you think? Which do you prefer?
Another questioner : By Allah, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Everything is easy.
Another questioner : The owners of the house and you, choose.
The Shaykh : No, we see what you want. What do you want?
Another questioner : I only want to hear your words; I do not want to drink.
The Shaykh : But combining them is permissible.
Another questioner : It is permissible, but I do not want to.
The Shaykh : How? Since it is permissible; you do not want it, why? Choose, may Allah bless you; coffee, tea, cold; what do you want?
Another questioner : Coffee, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : Coffee, and tea; combining them is permissible.
Another questioner : The Shaykh :
