Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Abu Malik: An imam or mu'adhdhin who resides in a room in the mosque courtyard: do the rulings of the mosque apply to him, such as the greeting of the mosque and what is related to it?
The Shaykh : If this room is part of the mosque, meaning one cannot reach it or enter it except through the mosque's door, then it is part of the mosque. However, if one enters it from the road or the alley, even if there is a door from the room to the mosque, he is not required to perform the greeting of the mosque because it is not part of the mosque.
Abu Malik: ...
The Shaykh : Who is he?
Abu Malik: It is the first one.
The Shaykh: Yes.
Abu Malik: Poor man, how is he going to get married... This is a torment for the poor man.
The Shaykh : Indeed,[Al-Baqarah 2:187].
Abu Malik: This poor man, it would be better for him to leave the imamah and the adhan, I mean.

And do not have relations with them
