The Shaykh : ...
The questioner : 'Azam al-Tamimi, did he pass by you these days?
The Shaykh : I did not understand.
The questioner : 'Azam al-Tamimi, did he pass by you?
The Shaykh : 'Azam al-Tamimi.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : I do not know who he is? Where is he?
The questioner : He is from al-Khalil, and he mentioned to me three days ago that he tried to meet you, coming from London with a message, so I do not know.
The Shaykh : What is the message, for example?
The questioner : The statement that he is coming with a message from an organization named Liberta.
The Shaykh : He called me on the phone.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : First, he came to the house and requested a meeting. One of our brothers had called me ten days ago, saying that there is a person who wants to come from London specifically for this issue. I told him, "Apologize to him; he is coming from Amman on my behalf, so he should not come. If he has other business, let him come, and then we will deal with each incident as it arises." But as for coming for my sake, and I say, "By Allah, I apologize," we apologize in advance that we do not give an appointment. The man came and delivered this message. He came to the house and asked permission to enter during the day because he had a research project. I told him, "I am sorry, I have no readiness at all, and you are aware that I have already apologized in advance, unless you come to attend to other business, in which case there is no harm." He said, "I have research, I have such and such." I told him, "If it is absolutely necessary, call me at night for one or two hours; I will dedicate them to receiving questions." And he actually did that, and the discussion between us lasted about half an hour on this topic by phone. As for a personal meeting, no.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : Welcome, and to you, if Allah wills. We are waiting for an imminent meeting.
The questioner : If Allah wills.
