The Shaykh’s remarks on some callers who twist their questions regarding financial matters.

The Shaykh : I said to him, "Please, go ahead." He said, "I deposited money in the bank on the condition of no interest." I said to him, "What is the money?" He said, "Cash." I said, "What is the cash?" He said, "Dirhams." And then, what is all this obfuscation? I know what the tactics are. He is going to mumble it, obscure it, and try to get a fatwa from me just the way he wants it. So he hung up.
The student : There is no power nor strength except with Allah!

The Shaykh : I mean, what is the money you deposited? Is it secured, or does it have no value? And then I proceed with him. Do you think that if you deposit this money, which amounts to thousands, if not millions, and you engage the bank with it, because you did not take what you call interest, then there is nothing on you? Glory be to Allah. Many of the questioners, you find them like one person wrestling with another, trying to outmaneuver him, and he wants to find a loophole by which he might overcome him.
The student : Allah is the Greatest...

The Shaykh : This is how Muslims do it... so do not hold it against me, O...
The student : No, my Shaykh.

The Shaykh : I mean that... if Allah wills.
The student : By Allah, O Shaykh... Kuwait.

The Shaykh : By Allah, I have no time other than this moment.
The student : Very well, may Allah bless you, and I entrust you to Allah, whose trusts are not lost.

The Shaykh : Greet the brothers, and may Allah grant you safe arrival, if Allah wills.
The student : May Allah protect you from all that is evil. May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : And you likewise. Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings.
The student : Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings, and His forgiveness.

The Shaykh : Welcome, how are you?
The student : May Allah bless you.

The Shaykh: How are you?
The student : I am well, by Allah, I am well.

The Shaykh : May Allah keep you well.
The student : Praise be to Allah in all circumstances.

The Shaykh : Welcome, yes, yes.

The questioner : Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy.

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

The questioner : Shaykh Nasser.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner: How are you?

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

The questioner : O Shaykh, we love you for the sake of Allah.

The Shaykh : May Allah love you for the sake of which you loved me.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, if Allah wills.

The Shaykh : And beware of that.

The questioner : , O Shaykh.
