The sound of a telephone ringing.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And peace be upon you.
The questioner : How are you, our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : I praise Allah to you.
The questioner : And how is your health? May you be well?
The Shaykh : I am well, praise be to Allah.
The questioner : We ask Allah for your well-being, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
The questioner : Shaykh, may we ask two questions?
The Shaykh : Please.
The questioner : May Allah bless you and increase you in favor.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
The questioner : Shaykh! One of our brothers is asking: He has a married sister who creates discord between him and his mother, and she also does not pray.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And her husband’s money is obtained through bribes and what is forbidden. So, should he cut ties with his sister or maintain them?
The Shaykh : By Allah! This differs regarding her brother. First, is he committed and holding fast to the religion?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Let us assume he is holding fast to the religion. Second: Can he admonish his sister and remind her that it is obligatory for her to be upright with her Lord first, and then with her husband second? If he does that and continues for a long time, and she does not respond and does not desist, then at that point he warns her of cutting ties. If she still does not respond, he cuts ties with her. But doing it like this, with one outburst, one strike, is not permissible.
The questioner : And likewise regarding her mother. If she is also abandoning prayer, insulting the Divine Essence, and falsely accusing his chaste wife, is it the same ruling, or does she have a different ruling?
The Shaykh : No, she has a different ruling; because it is not permissible for him to cut ties with her; but he must continue advising her, as we benefit from that in the story of Ibrahim with his father Azar.
The questioner : Yes, our Shaykh! The second question: We are in a mosque in al-Ashtareyah, giving lessons in spiritual purification to young men, beginners, lessons in purification, encouragement, and warning. One of the brothers suggested that he give hadith tracing, meaning they say this is difficult for the youth?
The Shaykh : No, stay away from it.
The questioner : We stay away from it; because... did you see the benefit in not letting the youth take it? Because these are still, meaning, youth in the beginning?
The Shaykh : No, no, this is not suitable except for strong students.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes! Yes.
The questioner : If they are strong, there is no harm, but for beginners it is not permissible?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible.
The questioner : May Allah bless you and reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of it, if Allah wills.
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.

The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And peace be upon you.
