Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner : If Allah wills, I am well.
The Shaykh : May Allah make you well.
The questioner : May Allah give you health.
The Shaykh : May Allah keep you safe.
The questioner: He told you—Shaykh—'Abd al-Hayy told you something today, my Shaykh?
The Shaykh: No.
The questioner: Yes, so basically, we reached an initial agreement with him, just as we discussed with you this morning, and you allowed us to pray the midday prayer here on Friday and then come to you.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: He requested it this morning, and we told him: The Shaykh, in his opinion, it is like this.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: A second opportunity—may Allah will it—we will make it up to you, but for now, this is the initial arrangement, so he was very pleased, especially since he asked you a long question-and-answer about dutifulness to parents for the sake of some of the brothers who asked this "al-Raf'i."
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: He is from Kuwait, and he received a very detailed answer.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: But he tells me: Also, this al-Raf'i.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: He sent him the answer via fax.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: Or will it be good if he wants to file the lawsuit so that my mother is not wronged, to remove the injustice from my mother? I told him: By Allah, I do not think the Shaykh will agree to that; because, I mean, he must fulfill his duty, and his mother is responsible for her duty.
The Shaykh: How can he, I mean, file a lawsuit against his mother?
The questioner: Because when he was involved on the basis of filing a lawsuit against his mother; he refused...
The Shaykh: Okay, and now?
The questioner: Now he says that his mother, when he means to leave her as she is, his mother’s lawsuit against his brothers, I mean, regarding the consumption of some of the brothers’ rights by the brothers.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: Now she would have wronged herself.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: He wants to file the lawsuit so that she does not wrong his remaining brothers, not just him, I mean.
The Shaykh: He wants to file a lawsuit against her?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: May Allah guide him; what is the difference if he filed the lawsuit against her for his sake.
The questioner: Or for the sake of someone else.
The Shaykh: Or for the sake of someone else?
The questioner: Yes, he said she would not be wronging in that case, he wants to keep her from wronging.
The Shaykh: He should advise her and that is all.
The questioner: Ah, I told him the Shaykh will not agree to that; because the Shaykh, as far as I know, his opinion is that this matter is specific to her; she wrongs, she is responsible for herself, but her son does not treat the mother in the same way.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: So I do not think the Shaykh will agree with him on this.
The Shaykh: No, the answer was very clear.
The questioner: May Allah reward you with good, by Allah, he read it to me.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: He wrote it on a piece of paper, and he was listening to you on the phone.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
The questioner: So we—may Allah will it—I told her to call us on Thursday late in the day or on Friday morning.
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner: I will speak to you with the Shaykh, I mean.
The Shaykh : Very good.
The questioner: He told me: Okay, and he told me, I mean, in Irbid, and we will call on the phone at the place where we want to meet.
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner: We told him: Okay, may Allah will it.
The Shaykh : If Allah wills.
The questioner : If Allah wills, I am well.
The Shaykh : May Allah make you well.
The questioner : May Allah give you health.
The Shaykh : May Allah keep you safe.
The questioner: He told you—Shaykh—'Abd al-Hayy told you something today, my Shaykh?
