Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : From which angle do you not see it?

The Shaykh : Because it is not authorized.

The questioner : Okay, these matters, once, my Shaykh, you were asked about someThe questioner : things, meaning we bring some items through customs, like a recorder or a radio or something. The principle is that the state takes a customs duty on them, so if we take them out and do not pay the duty.

The Shaykh : ... We set a condition and a restriction. Do you remember the restriction?

The questioner: And that is...

The Shaykh : That if it is discovered, it does not harm the Muslim.

The questioner : Harm.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : It does not affect them, these things, Shaykh.

Another questioner : By Allah, my Shaykh, they are clever. You want the truth, meaning.

Another questioner : ... Meaning it does not harm them; they get it out easily and there is no problem.
The student : It has been ten years, my Shaykh.
Another student: Ah, they get it out, there is nothing to it.

The Shaykh : Who?
The student : My colleague, Shaykh Hisham.

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student : For ten years, he tells me, when I bought my small taxi.

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student : I did not fill a third of it from Amman; all of it was ten years on this. Then, my Shaykh, there is an incentive for us. As you know, the can is four and a half Jordanian dinars, and the can is ten Jordanian qirsh.

The Shaykh: Allahu Akbar.
The student : He brought it and started distributing it to the young men.
Another student: Not just once, but constantly, my Shaykh. Abu al-Yaman, Nasser, and his brothers and neighbors, and Abu 'Abd al-Rahman, meaning, what Allah willed, he distributes it like this.

The Shaykh : Okay, what should I tell you.
The student: Yes, Shaykh.

The Shaykh : What is it worth, he told me?
The student : He, my Shaykh, reached us at the border. He had a toolbox, the toolbox was closed, this one.

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student : So he goes and takes this can, puts it inside the toolbox, and puts junk, ropes, and not ropes, and things like that, to make it look like, if they ask to open it, to make it look like this is a toolbox.

The Shaykh : A big box?
The student : A big box, yes, my Shaykh. You know the car jack and the tools for removing the wheel.

The Shaykh : Meaning it holds one can or more?
The student : It holds four cans, maybe five cans, my Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Strange.
The student : Yes, my Shaykh, and in this state, every trip, meaning.
Another student: There is nothing, even if they find it, my Shaykh, and catch him, just meaning they dump it and that is it.
Another student: Ah, of course ... then, my Shaykh.
Another student: Jordan, I think, also prohibits it. Jordan, meaning, I was coming with me, Zamzam, he said, what is this? Gasoline? Ah, meaning they prohibit it.
Another student: By Allah, as for me ... the Jordanians, this is not it. Then, my Shaykh, there is a point, meaning, I do not know if this has any advantages. Iraq, of course, you know that the gasoline they have is something, meaning, it cannot be described. It is counted among the first countries in producing or extracting gasoline. So they have, meaning, for this reason, its price is very cheap. At this value, he tells me, Hisham, on every trip, he saves seventy Jordanian dinars. The price of diesel, if I wanted to buy it from Amman, it would cost me seventy dinars. When I buy it from Baghdad, it costs me two or three dinars. Ah, so the aspects, meaning.
Another student: May Allah reward you with good.
