The questioner : Peace be upon you
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace.
The questioner: Shaykh Muhammad
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : How are you, my Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah.
The questioner : I hope you are well, if Allah wills. How is your health?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well
The questioner : Praise be to Allah. Yes, by Allah, O our Shaykh, I asked you about my university studies at the University of Beirut, open enrollment.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct.
The questioner : And you advised me to leave it because of commerce and free mixing of men and women.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct.
The questioner : So I heard your advice and left the university, but my family did not like the situation, and a commotion arose in the house.
The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar.
The questioner : Yes, my father was upset with me, and my mother was upset.
The Shaykh : What is the matter with your father?
The questioner : What?
The Shaykh : What is the matter with your father?
The questioner : So my father was upset, and my mother was upset.
The Shaykh : Upset.
The questioner : Meaning, he did not like the matter.
The Shaykh : They were angry, meaning.
The questioner: Yes
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : So my sister, who has knowledge—we consider her so, and we do not praise anyone before Allah—suggested that to calm the family, I enroll in the Islamic Community College, Sharia department...
The Shaykh : Is there no free mixing of men and women?
The questioner : There is no free mixing of men and women for the girls, so it is a solution to calm the situation.
The Shaykh : If there is no free mixing of men and women, there is no obstacle.
The questioner : There is no obstacle.
The Shaykh : If there is no free mixing of men and women, there is no obstacle. If there is no free mixing of men and women, there is no obstacle, if you maintain your jilbab and your modesty, and you are not influenced by the women who are clothed yet naked.
The questioner : I wear the niqab, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : I wear the niqab.
The Shaykh : I know what I am telling you: if you are not influenced.
The questioner : No, I am not influenced.
The Shaykh: Okay
The questioner : No, I am not influenced, praise be to Allah. I mean, you advise me, and I agree.
The Shaykh : If there is no free mixing of men and women, I agree.
The questioner : There is no free mixing of men and women. I want to enroll in the Islamic Community College.
The Shaykh : I do not care about the names; they neither fatten nor satisfy hunger.
The questioner: Yes
The Shaykh : And the Islamic Community College, and an Islamic bank, and Islamic songs.
The questioner: Yes
The Shaykh : And Islamic socialism. All these names, Allah has not sent down any authority for them. The important thing is the reality, not the name. Do you understand me?
The questioner : I understand you, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : is it
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace.
