The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: ... How did he deduce that the pulpit had three steps, when the explicit text states that it had three steps?
The questioner: Four, four.
The Shaykh: Huh?

Another questioner: I propose a suggestion to the Shaykh "Ali al-Faqir" that they put the pulpit in the ceiling and the worshippers - our Shaykh - sleep, rest, and go up like that [everyone laughs!].
The Shaykh: ... Three steps is explicitly stated, as for this seat, it is not a step! He knows what he is talking about, he misleads the people and deceives the people; have you heard from him an explicit denial of such pulpits that cut through the rows? Have you heard a denial?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: So he is trying to smooth over this reality that contradicts the Sunnah ... .
The questioner: He is circumventing the Shari'ah.
The Shaykh: Then it is not the disagreement. Yes.
Then it is not the disagreement whether it is three or four, suppose it is four, but is it ten? Is there in the Sunnah that the pulpit has ten steps?
The questioner : Not at all.
The Shaykh: Okay; so it is not the disagreement that it is one step more or one step less, the disagreement is this pulpit that cuts through the rows and raises this preacher to the ceiling; this is not only contrary to the Sunnah, but it corrupts the morals of many preachers who ascend these elevators.
The Shaykh: Yes.
