Warning Against the Impermissibility of Being Distracted from the Friday Sermon
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: He says that if you press the button for the kabsa, and he finishes the sermon, and you have not made any movement, because as far as I have seen you, you do not benefit from the sermon at all.
The student : ... .
The Shaykh : No, no, no.
The student: By Allah, it is as if you are waiting for it, Professor. Haha. This is the beginning of the fruits at the appropriate time.
The Shaykh: Hehehe.
The student: One of the brothers told me, our Shaykh, one of the brothers told me, I am surprised, I mean.
Another student : No, no, generally we do not accept it, I mean.
The Shaykh: No, certainly we do not accept it.
The student: One of our brothers told me, our Professor, he told me, I am surprised, I mean, from Abu Ahmad, it is not conceivable that he might benefit from the Shaykh's session except by going to the house and replaying the tape.
Another student : It is not a problem... Subhan Allah.
Another student : But while he is sitting, absolutely, because as long as he is sitting, he keeps pressing this and doing that, and he puts this wire for that wire.
The Shaykh: This is not a problem, because this has a consequence, it has a good consequence, but there is the sermon, considering that enjoining good and forbidding evil is not permissible [to neglect] and it is obligatory, so it is not permissible for a person to be distracted from this obligation by something else. But if he is distracted from listening to all my lessons, they would not say you have done a great sin.
The student: Yes, correct, there is a text prohibiting it.
The Shaykh: Especially since he will listen to the recording later, to the end of it.
The student: May Allah reward you with good, our Shaykh, his efforts reach America, may Allah reward him with good.
Another student : ... Go away, son of the free man.
The Shaykh: Yes, correct, the point is, did you understand what my observation is? I mean, prepare a blank tape, so that it records the sermon from its beginning to its end.
The student: My Shaykh, this happens to me, but sometimes we have something, I mean... or is it the original that I should be prepared?
The Shaykh: No problem, this is sometimes we allow you in it, and sometimes otherwise, haha.
The questioner: ... The children are placed on the side, or...
The Shaykh: No, regarding the congregational mosque, they cannot be placed on the side, my brother.
The questioner: I mean, they must be among the people.
The Shaykh: Therefore, I say, straighten the rows and come close as much as possible.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: It is better that they are placed on the side so that they do not break the rows, that is better.
The Shaykh: If possible, my lord, if possible, the congregational mosque cannot be organized, it cannot.
The questioner: But I mean, if you can take them to the side so that they stand on the side and you are next to them, that is better.
The Shaykh: If possible.
The student : ... .
The Shaykh : No, no, no.
The student: By Allah, it is as if you are waiting for it, Professor. Haha. This is the beginning of the fruits at the appropriate time.
