Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Ahlo
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Peace be upon you
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace
The questioner : How are you, our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well
The questioner: .. Shaykh, I would like to ask you a question about a quick matter, if you please
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner: I am discussing a quick matter with you, meaning, if Allah wills
The Shaykh: Yes, but do not rush in your speech
The questioner: Understood, Shaykh. Our Shaykh, there is a Christian woman and a young man is speaking with her in the way of da'wah, calling her to it. He spoke with her about some matters, but this conversation takes place at work. So he wants to, for example, write her a note or give her a tape, something like that, meaning. Is it permissible for a person to possibly give her a paper written with verses from the Qur'an and some sayings and some hadiths in the way that she reads it by herself, between her and herself, or listens to the tape, she listens to it by herself?
The Shaykh: This is permissible
The questioner: It is permissible.
The Shaykh: But I am asking about the young man
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : How old is he?
The questioner: About 25 years old
The Shaykh: Married
The questioner: No, no, not married
The Shaykh: So I am afraid for him
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you
The questioner: And he said that if he fears fitnah, he can write her a paper and give it to her
The Shaykh: No, because this paper will bring others
The questioner: Well, our Shaykh, he swore that he will not give her anything other than this paper, meaning the young man, may Allah reward him, is committed, a commitment, meaning, may Allah firm him up more, meaning
The Shaykh: Ameen, but he is not sinless
The questioner: He is not sinless, yes, he is determined to give her this paper and not give her anything else
The Shaykh: No, this paper alone is not sufficient, and a word of advice is not sufficient. Follow-up is necessary. And therefore I fear that it will be as the poet of your country said
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: A glance, then a smile, then a greeting, then a word, then an appointment, then a meeting
The questioner : Yes, exactly.
The Shaykh: Yes
The questioner: Well, our Shaykh, there is a small note I would like to draw your attention to. This young man is committed with some of the brothers and he speaks with them. And even the paper is not something he puts together by himself; he will put it together with some of the brothers from the young men, meaning
The Shaykh : Even if he
The questioner: And even if
The Shaykh : Even if he
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you
The questioner : Peace be upon you
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Peace be upon you
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace
The questioner : How are you, our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well
