The questioner : Shaykh, is it possible for us to meet with al-Khalidi today?
The Shaykh : With al-Khalidi.
The questioner : Yes, the man, I mean, some students mentioned to us that he teaches at the university, explaining, teaching there tafsir, al-Zamakhshari's tafsir.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : So they asked him, I mean, about the Shaykh, or what do you think of the Shaykh, and so on. He said: By Allah, regarding the Shaykh, I mean, in the science of hadith, the man is a scholar and no one can deny his virtue!
The Shaykh : But in fiqh he is ignorant!
The questioner : Yes, he is not a jurist, I mean.
The Shaykh : And he is a jurist!
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : He is a jurist! May Allah guide us and him.
The questioner : Amen, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : As He, the Exalted, said:[Saba 34:24].
The questioner : Yes, so they said to him, why, then, have you not met with the Shaykh, and so on. He said: By Allah, I heard that the Shaykh does not like meetings. So I said to the young man: This is the opposite of what we know, that the Shaykh is eager for meetings. Any person, I mean, if he has a meeting, it must be fair, I mean, the condition is that the man be fair and seeking the truth. The session is not a waste of time or anything. So what do you think, for example, Shaykh, today, for example, if we see al-Khalidi, should we offer him this matter?
The Shaykh : What? What matter?
The questioner : The meeting.
The Shaykh : He should correct his embodied error and show us his good intention, after that the meeting will take place.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Because if there is a difference of opinion, we meet, but now, what do you think, meet with the poor one?!
The questioner : Ah!
The Shaykh : What is this?!
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : He should withdraw these fabrications and misguidances, all of them, as proof that his inner self, at the very least, has improved compared to before.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And this applies to al-Khalidi and anyone else!
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner : Good, if Allah wills. May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The questioner : Welcome.
The Shaykh : Did you study it, you?
The questioner : Two years ago he gave it to us, we are now choosing this thing!
The Shaykh : This is understood, my brother, understood!
The questioner : Yes, Shaykh, this is regarding you, O our Shaykh, in the matter.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : This is the sister's hadith!
The Shaykh : Okay, yes.
The questioner : She tells me: You read in al-Buti's book on the biography, *Fiqh al-Sirah*, he speaks the same words as the Shaykh. I told him: I do not know, I understood this, so I called you, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Give us a look, show us *Fiqh al-Sirah*.
The questioner : Jihad!
The Shaykh : By al-Buti.
The questioner : About the ruling on jihad, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Fine, may Allah reward you with good.
The questioner : May Allah preserve you, O Shaykh, so that this is also a weapon in your hand.
The Shaykh : With al-Khalidi.
The questioner : Yes, the man, I mean, some students mentioned to us that he teaches at the university, explaining, teaching there tafsir, al-Zamakhshari's tafsir.
The Shaykh: Yes.

The Shaykh : He is a jurist! May Allah guide us and him.
The questioner : Amen, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : As He, the Exalted, said:
And indeed, we or you are either upon guidance or in clear error."
وَإِنَّا أَوْ إِيَّاكُمْ لَعَلَى هُدًى أَوْ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُبِينٍThe questioner : Yes, so they said to him, why, then, have you not met with the Shaykh, and so on.
