The questioner : ... Ah, in Islam, but if eating it destroyed the balance that Allah established in Surat al-Rahman [Ar-Rahman 55:8], this [Ar-Rahman 55:10] every living creature, did you take it from al-Tabari?
The Shaykh : What do you think if I removed the rabbit and put sheep in its place, wouldn't your argument work?
The questioner : It is possible if Allah had set a specific number.
The Shaykh : Stay with me, and the wilderness, not the sea? Where do sheep live, the wilderness or the sea?
The questioner : In the wilderness.
The Shaykh : ... Sheep are not raised except in the wilderness. The sheep that come to us in thousands, where are they raised?
The questioner : In the wilderness.
The Shaykh : In the wilderness! So if you value the rabbits that live there and put sheep in their place, will it destroy the balance?
The questioner : I cannot control it; Allah is the One who established it.
The Shaykh : And the rabbit, is it from what He established?
The questioner : Allah.
The Shaykh : If Allah eats it, it returns to Allah!
The questioner : But sheep are placed in quantities only for the need of man, whereas if they increase, it is those who placed the rabbits.
The Shaykh : Sheep are placed for the need of man. And the rabbits?
The questioner : How?
The Shaykh : And the rabbits... the right is with the group about what they argue with us about, this is Ali, do you know you... I am telling you he means he will argue, so sheep Allah created them for man, and the rabbits?
The questioner : Yes, for man.
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner : If you killed it, would it affect the balance?
The Shaykh : If you slaughtered the sheep and it affected the balance, what then?
The questioner : You seek help with something else, meaning for example let us take an example...
The Shaykh : No, no, may Allah guide you...
The questioner : I want wild animals, not domestic ones?
The Shaykh : It is not up to you! This is your son, O Abu Muhammad, he is more enthusiastic about knowledge than necessary.
Abu Muhammad: You are tiring me, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : I wish it were knowledge, what knowledge, I do not mean...
The questioner : The future of humanity!
The Shaykh : Be patient, may Allah guide you...
Al-Halabi : It seems he is listening to al-Zindani.
The Shaykh : You are within the verse of the balance[Al-Qamar 54:49], combine this verse with that verse and sleep and rest, knowing that there will be no imbalance in the universe as long as the Lord of the universe is the One who created the animals and permitted their consumption, then there will be no imbalance in this balance that you are referring to, do you know it?
The questioner : There is a matter in the verse.
The Shaykh : You did not answer me as usual!
The questioner : Ah, look.
The Shaykh : No, this balance, you can know that, for example, how many heads of sheep are in the world and how many heads of rabbits are in the world. If there is a destruction of sheep more than necessary, what will happen to the balance? Likewise with rabbits, can you know this thing?
The questioner : There is a medical association...
The Shaykh : You, you... there is no power nor strength except by Allah.
The questioner : I am hanging... instead of the Shumari reserve, there are only ninety-two heads, you come and shoot them all, like this it will remain in the balance and they will be extinct, it will be abolished from them completely.
The Shaykh : These people who are with the association, are they holding the balance of the Shari'ah?
The questioner : How, but I want to become.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : This criminal, meaning...
That you not transgress within the balance.
