Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : I want to inform you.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Today, around Maghrib.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : I met the source of fitnah in your mosque!
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh : He greeted me as usual, and I returned the greeting, asked how he was, and then I told him: Fear Allah.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : He was stunned, so I said to him: Yes, I told him: Fear Allah with your brothers.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And do not stir up fitnah. Yes? Who? Please, go ahead. I emphasized this point with him, ignoring everything else!
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, I told him: Did you not invite the poor man to study? At first he denied it, but then when he saw that I was pressing the point. Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings, welcome, how are you?
The student : My regards, how is your health?
The Shaykh : Welcome, please, here are the chairs, Abdul, get the chairs, there are no chairs here. The point is, he started to feel that I would not let him get away with it.
The questioner : And you, who cannot...
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
The questioner: May Allah bless you, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : The important thing is regarding the responsibility of the committee. I said to him: So what was your position regarding the committee's stance? You are saying the committee is fine, but did you contradict the committee? He kept going in circles. Finally, he said no. I told him: Enough, fear Allah. I left him and walked away, hoping to give you some other details later. Perhaps you have finished with your question.
The questioner : I am finished, Shaykh. I was thinking that I needed you for consultation regarding this man, because truly, no one understands the matter properly except you, our Shaykh, and no one can handle the situation except you. Even Professor Abu Malik, may Allah preserve him, has his own concerns and worries in the field of da'wah and activity, may Allah reward him with good.
The Shaykh: Amen.
The questioner : And so on. But truly, Shaykh Abu Malik... he was unable to make the man understand the matter properly. He said that Satan sowed discord between you and them.
The Shaykh : In any case, we will meet, if Allah wills, at the earliest opportunity.
The questioner : If Allah wills, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And he is doing well.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Is there any other need?
The questioner : May Allah honor you, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Peace be upon you.
