Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the later-arriving scholars who, if they arrive late, do not enter the mosques to find lessons or sermons, and those who are less knowledgeable take their place, is there a sin in this?
The Shaykh : Does the one who takes the place not know that there is someone more deserving of taking it?
The questioner : Yes, but the one who is more deserving is not accustomed to passing in front of him, or he does not want to pass in front of him.
The Shaykh : If he were told, "Please, go ahead."
The questioner : He would not go ahead.
The Shaykh : In that case, it is permissible.
The questioner : And he does not deliver lessons, nor does he have the energy for da'wah; he does not have it.
The Shaykh : In that case, it is permissible.
The questioner : It is permissible.
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
The questioner : We send our money in dollars from here.
The Shaykh : It is the same rule, my brother, the same rule.
The questioner : It is the same rule.
