Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Hello.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.
The questioner : How are you, our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner : I am well.
The Shaykh : If Allah wills.
The questioner: If Allah wills, I have a question here. The television asked the sisters to do a lesson, which is teaching the Arabic language and the Noble Qur'an. My wife is one of the women who teach the Arabic language and the Qur'an well. Is that good?
The Shaykh: Where are you speaking from?
The questioner: I am speaking from Germany.
The Shaykh: From Germany.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: And the student?
The questioner: The student.
The Shaykh: The student, from your wife, to deliver a lesson on television?
The questioner: No, it is not a lesson, but the female presenter of the television asked to record this lesson, and my wife stipulated that her face not be shown, but the voice was there. The other Muslim German sisters, meaning they had no objection for this reason, but my wife and another Arab woman said that their faces should not appear on the screen. How is this matter?
The Shaykh: If their faces do not appear on the screen, and the hijab or jilbab is a Sharia-compliant jilbab, and only their voices are heard, then it is sufficient to record their speech on a tape, and it is not necessary for it to be on television.
The questioner: But the German sisters did not object to this; they said okay, it is possible for their faces to be shown. For this reason, they said on television the German faces should be shown, and my wife and the wife of another Arab brother should appear.
The Shaykh: The Albanians are Muslims.
The questioner: Yes, Muslims, meaning Muslims for about a year, half a year, four months.
The Shaykh: Yes, it is our duty to advise every Muslim woman, whether she is deeply rooted in Islam or new to Islam, not to appear on television. Rather, we advise men to stay away from that appearance and to suffice with spreading the voice only, and knowledge and advice through these tapes that are recorded on cassettes, as they say, only like that.
The questioner : May Allah reward you, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And may He reward you.
The questioner: I just had a small note, which is that you deliver to me, if you can, because I was unable to findAbu Layla : that you deliver to him and tell him that the brother sent you the papers and the catalogs for the large recorder that records with good voices.
The Shaykh: What is the name of this brother you are referring to?
The questioner : Abu Layla : Muhammad Ahmad.
The Shaykh: No, no, the sender, who is he?
The questioner: I am the one who sent him the catalog.
The Shaykh: My brother, who are you?
The questioner: I am Muhammad Ali.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is it.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh: Then we will inform Abu Layla that Muhammad ibn Ali sent him this catalog.
The questioner: Yes, the one he asked me for.
The Shaykh: When did you send it?
The questioner: I sent it yesterday.
The Shaykh: Yesterday.
The questioner: Yesterday, yes.
The Shaykh: Meaning it probably has not reached him yet.
The questioner: If Allah wills, it will reach him.
The Shaykh : If Allah wills.
The questioner : May Allah reward you, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh: We will inform him, if Allah wills.
The questioner : If Allah wills.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The questioner: Come, peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
What happened with you, my son?
The student: This tape came out short.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The student: The tape came out short.
The Shaykh: It came out short? What color is this wire?
The student: Now I put in ... an egg.
The Shaykh: The white one is short.
The student: ... I put in white ... .
The Shaykh: Okay, we were supposed to finish the connection, are you connecting now?
The student: I am connecting.
The Shaykh: And what is the benefit? What did we gain with you?
The student : ... .
The Shaykh: What did we gain from the operation, I mean?
The student: We want to connect from here to there to make it one piece, so this connection will be fixed here where it is not placed.
The Shaykh: We, this adjustment, the intention was for the connection to be one piece.
The student: Plus it should be white in color.
The Shaykh: Plus it should be white.
The student: Yes, now you have improved it, put in one unit only.
The Shaykh: Now we did not get the color all white, nor did we finish the connection.
The student: Correct, but we put in some white from that room.
The Shaykh: What is the benefit of the white color?
The student: The wall is white, a line will come on it ... .
The Shaykh: I understand, meaning the connection became a cosmetic thing, meaning not necessary, whereas it was one piece.
The student: ... there is a solution.
The Shaykh: We postpone the matter, there is no rush until we get a single white wire instead of this connection.
The student : Hello.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The student : Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
