The questioner : No, he paid installments, meaning...
The Shaykh : Yes, whatever he did before, he does after.

The Shaykh : Of course, because he fell into a sin, and another sin is to consume the right of the creditor.
The questioner : Yes, Glorified is Allah. Shaykh, in another question...

The questioner : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.
The Shaykh : And why did you forbid us your voice for the whole period? First, and then you gathered all the questions and sent them as a batch. Second, keep it like this, alternating from time to time, so we hear your voice, if Allah wills. Now listen to the voice of Abu Layli.
