Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, what is the ruling on affiliating with an Islamic group in a country that is not governed by the law of Allah?
The Shaykh : An Islamic group in a country that is not governed by the law of Allah? And which country is governed by the law of Allah?
The questioner : Any country, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Which country is governed by the law of Allah?
The questioner : There is none, O Shaykh, at present.
The Shaykh : So why did you restrict it?
The questioner : I am just asking, O Shaykh, because I affiliated with a group, and I mean...
The Shaykh : What is the group you affiliated with?
The questioner : The Tahrir group, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Oh, my goodness! What is the methodology of the Tahrir group?
The questioner : The caliphate.
The Shaykh : The caliphate, and what is their path to achieving the caliphate?
The questioner : The Book and the Sunnah.
The Shaykh : And are they upon the Book and the Sunnah?!
The questioner : Yes!
The Shaykh : What Allah wills, we hope for them that, and are you upon the Book and the Sunnah?
The questioner : Praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh : And where is Allah?
The questioner : In the sky.
The Shaykh : In the sky?
The questioner : Yes, exactly.
The Shaykh : Is the sky created or not created?
The questioner : Yes, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Is the sky created?
The questioner : It is one of Allah’s creations.
The Shaykh : Yes, by Allah, is He in it?
The questioner : Above it, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : You said: “In the sky.”
The questioner : Yes, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes, O Shaykh, you said “in the sky.”
The questioner : Above the sky, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : I am telling you: you said “in the sky.”
The questioner : Okay, O Shaykh, I want to bring you something, or I want to...
The Shaykh : No, no, don’t bring me anything, read my books.
The questioner : All right, O Shaykh, I will read your books, if Allah wills, but where should I bring it to you, in which mosque?
The Shaykh : I do not have any mosques where I give sermons or teach.
The questioner : Yes, well, if I want to attend your lessons, O Shaykh, where?
The Shaykh : I have no lessons.
The questioner : So you do not want to benefit the people, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : By Allah, why am I publishing books and telling you to read my books except so that you may be guided?
The questioner : Praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah.
The questioner : But O Shaykh, if the young men want to attend your lessons...
The Shaykh : I have no lessons.
The questioner : All right, O Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
