Is it true that you have reconsidered what you previously decided regarding the hijab of the Muslim woman?

The Shaykh : Yes?

The questioner: Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh: And upon you peace.

The questioner : How are you, our Shaykh?

The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.

The questioner : How is your health?

The Shaykh : May Allah make it a blessed place, and praise be to Allah.

The questioner : Praise be to Allah. I heard, O our Shaykh, that you have reconsidered what you presented in the book "The Hijab of the Muslim Woman"?

The Shaykh : What Allah willed!!

The questioner : Is this true or not?!

The Shaykh : Where did you hear this? Where did you hear this?!

The questioner : I heard it from some of the brothers.

The Shaykh : And can you, meaning, are you able to refute these few people?!

The questioner : By Allah, I cannot tell you: I refute them. That is why I called you. If I could have refuted them, I would not have called you.

The Shaykh : No, I am telling you: Are you able to refute them after we present to you the clear proof and evidence?!

The questioner: No.

The Shaykh : Yes, what do you mean by your words then? How is it not? Why don't you say: If we had contacted the author?!

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : And refute this lie!

The questioner : Then it is finished!

The Shaykh : Yes?

The questioner : If you tell me: No, then it is no!

The Shaykh: What is it?

The questioner : I mean, is this statement true or is it?!

The Shaykh : False, false.

The questioner : False!

The Shaykh : I did not reconsider, but I affirmed.

The questioner : May Allah reward you, O our Shaykh.

The Shaykh : And this is what I was aiming for. The book has been reprinted in a new, expanded edition, with an introduction of more than thirty pages.

The questioner : May Allah reward you!

The Shaykh : I affirm what I was upon.

The questioner : May Allah bless you and prolong your life, O our Shaykh.

The Shaykh : And therefore I tell you: Are you able to refute them?

The questioner : I refute them, my brother.

The Shaykh : Yes, and you tell them: Look at the new edition from six months ago, and the latest edition from a few weeks ago.

The questioner : If Allah wills, if Allah wills.

The Shaykh : And the title changed from: Hijab to Jilbab!

The questioner : To Jilbab!

The Shaykh : I mean, the message was titled: "The Hijab of the Muslim Woman in the Book and the Sunnah," so the title became: "The Jilbab of the Muslim Woman in the Book and the Sunnah."

The questioner : May Allah bless you, O our Shaykh, and prolong your life.

The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you, my brother.

The questioner : May Allah bless you, peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.

The questioner : May Allah reward him with good. This is a young man in the age of roses.

The Shaykh: Yes, by Allah.

The questioner : Glory be to Allah, O Shaykh, we notice this new awakening in Saudi Arabia!

The Shaykh : Yes, by Allah!

The questioner : By Allah, it is not surprising, astonishing, that despite the extravagance and luxury they have!

The Shaykh : Yes, there is luxury.
The student : This is proof that it reaches even the houses, they bring it to the houses, on the sea, O Shaykh, by Allah, on the corniche in Jeddah!

The Shaykh : Yes, it is known.
The student : There are achievements, by Allah, the people are doing it.

The Shaykh : What Allah willed!

The questioner : But the preachers are good, all the preachers are good!
