The Shaykh’s warning about what happens after seeking their help in the mixing that occurred between Muslims and American women in the markets

The Shaykh : Among the immediate calamities that have begun to appear from this American occupation is that their soldiers have started mixing with Muslims in some of their markets. Muslims see American female soldiers and Jewish women displaying their adornment and exposing their private parts, a corruption that is not hidden from anyone. The Commission for Promoting Virtue and Prohibiting Vice is unable to do anything, nor can it impose upon them adherence to the customs and etiquette of Islamic lands, nor can it prevent the Americans from bringing into Saudi Arabia what Allah has forbidden, such as intoxicants and narcotics. It cannot even prevent them from celebrating their polytheistic festivals, along with the Jews among them, or from building churches in the lands of Islam. No, the Saudi state cannot prevent them from doing so, because it is overpowered and not overpowering. From this, the precision and importance of the aforementioned conditions mentioned by the scholars, including the Hanbalis, become apparent. There is no power nor strength except in Allah, and He is the One to be asked to avert from the Muslims the trials that have befallen them, whether apparent or hidden. He is the best One to be asked.

The questioner : How was today’s sermon, Abu Malik, today, our Shaykh?
