The questioner : The Shaykh Muhammad?!
The Shaykh : What do you want from him?
The questioner : I want to ask him two questions.
The Shaykh : Is he with you?
The questioner : May Allah reward you, my master.
The Shaykh : May Allah keep you safe.
The questioner : I want to ask you two questions.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : A man married a girl, and there was a problem before the marriage where the girl had not disclosed that she had a specific injury. So, he asked her family, and they told him that there was no such talk about it. After the marriage, it became clear that one eye could not see, one of the two, of course. He has now divorced her. What is due to her in terms of mahr or maintenance, or whatever else?
The Shaykh : These cases, my brother, are not resolved by a mufti’s fatwa!
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : You need to return to the Shari'ah court!
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And that is all?
The questioner : And that is all.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Okay, thank you, my master.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The questioner : I am bothering you!
The Shaykh : Pardon me.
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, our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner : How is your health, if Allah wills, good?
The Shaykh : Welcome, how are you?
The questioner : May Allah keep you safe, I am well, from Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The questioner : How is the family, if Allah wills, well?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner : Our Shaykh, may Allah keep you safe. There are two matters so as not to burden you. Regarding the case of the brother Abu Basil, I do not know if my sister Umm al-Fadl informed you or not?!
The Shaykh : Yes, she informed me...
The questioner : Yes, he has been longing for a long time and has a desire to see you!
The Shaykh : I think that will be tomorrow!
The questioner : Yes, that is right.
The Shaykh : Is that so?
The questioner : Yes, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner : Will you come, if Allah wills?
The Shaykh : If Allah wills.
The questioner : Welcome, you and the family, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : If Allah wills.
