Machine translationRead the Arabic original
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, my Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner: May I ask a question?
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner: Two days ago I called and asked about a girl studying in a college, whether it is permissible or not, and you answered yes, but there is a specific condition. I wanted to inquire about it and make sure.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: That the teachers who are teaching these girls in the university are not committed to the Shari'ah.
The Shaykh: You mentioned this, and I answered you. When I told you there is no objection, you said: "But the one teaching, or the one I said, is a man." I told you: If this man is upright and his morals are good, there is no objection. So now you are asking, and the answer will be the same answer.
The questioner: No, Shaykh, there is just one point, but no harm in mentioning how you answered me. You said: If he is committed to the Shari'ah, it is permissible.
The Shaykh: Yes, what does that mean?
The questioner: I understood "committed to the Shari'ah" to mean that he is committed to the religion and so on.
The Shaykh: And the morals?
The questioner: The morals, I mean, for example, if he is...
The Shaykh: I am asking you, and the morals?
The questioner: Ah, ah, committed to the religion and the morals.
The Shaykh: Okay, so what is your question now?
The questioner: Yes, now if the man—for example—has good morals, but is not committed, I mean, to the religion.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: But a person—for example—is ordinary, he is not, for example, good or so, but he does not have that commitment to the religion, and then, for example, his study is at the same time a study that is, roughly, secular, but the girl, praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, is understanding of the matter and argues with him until the truth is revealed to the other girls.
The Shaykh: The point, my brother, is that the condition I set is: that he not be influential onThe student : the women.
The questioner: Even if he is not committed to the religion?
The Shaykh : Did you understand the answer?
The questioner : Ah, yes.
The Shaykh: So if he is not influential, meaning his morals are upright, but his lack of commitment, which you mention, does not affectThe student: them, then the answer is the answer, otherwise it differs completely, because every question has an answer.
The questioner: Yes, okay, Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And may Allah protect you, if Allah wills.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh: And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. The voice sounds like the voice of one of our brothers you know?
The questioner: I did not recognize it.
The Shaykh: I did not recognize it.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.
