The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : The jurist: I will answer you now, just let me write... What do you say, Professor?
The questioner : Let's move to my place in the mosque, what do you think?
The Shaykh : It means throwing two birds with one stone.
The questioner : And we will pray the 'Asr prayer.
The Shaykh : By Allah, you need to get permission from the master of the house.
The questioner : The master of the house agrees.
The Shaykh : We do not rule; we are currently under the rule of others.
The questioner : If we take the youth to the mosque, let them finish their questions, because here...
The Shaykh : Yes, get permission from the master of the house.
The questioner : Yes, the master of the house; it is not necessary from Abu Usamah, it is not...
The Shaykh : No, no, Abu Usamah; no, the host is Abu Usamah.
The questioner : Ah, Abu Usamah, bring Abu Usamah, where are they?
The Shaykh : Listen, our brothers, a questioner asked earlier, and it seemed his inner state was saying: "Here you are, speaking about what Allah has made easy for him and enabled him to perform the 'aqiqah, and you have clarified what he must observe if he performs the 'aqiqah for his newborn. So what is your opinion regarding the poor person who cannot afford it?"
My answer is, first, that every father should have a sincere intention with his Lord.
The questioner : We need your permission; I have a gathering at the mosque. It seems the group does not want to stop the music they have; it is a wedding, so let's go to the suburb. Catch up with us at the mosque.
The Shaykh : I do not have an answer to this question. What else do you have?
The Shaykh : The jurist: I will answer you now, just let me write... What do you say, Professor?
