Another questioner : ... .
The questioner : How?
Abu Malik: This is the thesis our brother wrote. I told him, when he mentioned it to me, I said to him: By Allah, you did well. But before you print it and publish it, it must be presented to our Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Yes.
Abu Malik: Yes, that is right.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
Another questioner: May Allah reward you with good. We took advantage of this ... .
The questioner: We said: It is mursal.
The Shaykh: I thought something else; that this thesis was drafted and reached the Sunnah to which we call people. So this Sunnah must be embodied in him [everyone laughs!].
The questioner: Yes, may Allah reward you with every good.
The Shaykh: So that it has ... .
Abu Malik: Our Shaykh, this is its beginning.
The questioner: I, but until now I am not really convinced.
The Shaykh: What are you not convinced about?
The questioner: The fistful.

The questioner: Go ahead.
The Shaykh: But you are the summary of the thesis; is that not so?
The questioner: The permissibility of taking.
The Shaykh: The permissibility of taking.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: The permissibility of taking, however the taker wishes?
Another questioner: Meaning, even if he takes the excess?
The Shaykh: Meaning, here it is said among us: "The Shaykh’s donkey stopped at the pass."
Another questioner: This is an old Arabic proverb.
The questioner: I will write down all these matters, keeping them in mind and your questions; meaning, I will say the Shaykh is now going to ask me this and that and that.
The Shaykh: Okay; and have you prepared an answer for it?
The questioner : No, by Allah.
Another questioner: Where is the answer from?
The questioner: Where is the answer from? Correct. We will have lunch, then we will sit if Allah wills, if you want to speak.
The Shaykh: Please, if your wind blows, seize it.
Another questioner: If Allah wills - the Exalted - , what we can ... if Allah wills ... .
The questioner: He told me.
The Shaykh: And if it needs a volume, it needs parts, meaning!!
Abu Malik: He mentioned the questions to me, so I told him: Some of the questions are fine, so he said: Questions related to prayer and the like.
The Shaykh : You have done well.
