The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : The odd nights are permissible, and the permissible ones are the odd ones, meaning in this state.
The Shaykh : Of course, it was so.
The questioner : So its knowledge is with my Lord.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : So now, a person strives.
The Shaykh : But that is how it is.
The questioner : And they explained regarding the standing at 'Arafah, meaning he needs to see it like this or like that... on the road. That is the favor of Allah, which He bestows upon whom He wills.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The Shaykh: Yes.
