The questioner : Some of the brothers are asking in more than one question: We ask the honorable Shaykh to give us good news about the health of our father, Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz, may Allah prolong your life and his in obedience to Him?
The Shaykh : I give you good news that he is well, praise be to Allah. There is nothing wrong with him, except for an effect in his knee. Yes, it is difficult for him to walk. The reason, as he himself told me, is that he stumbled on a step, and perhaps some nerves were torn. As a result, a sac formed, which they call a fatty sac. The doctors' opinions differed; some said it is better to perform the operation and remove it completely, while others said it should be drained. The Shaykh (may Allah preserve him) thought it should be drained, so they drained it. But usually, draining does not help; if it is drained, it collects again. This is what happened. He told me that after entering Ramadan, the doctors gathered to him again and said they would change the pills they had given him, as well as the injections, and that there would be no operation until after Ramadan. Those who visit him report that his health is good, praise be to Allah. Even one of the brothers called him after Maghrib and asked about him, and he said, "I am well, there is nothing wrong with me." I was with him two nights ago, and I am in contact with some of them. He said today or yesterday that he is in perfect health. But the rumors are strange, glory be to Allah the Great. Yes.

The Shaykh : What
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : By Allah, I do not know. This requires study.
The questioner : May Allah reward our father and our Shaykh with the best reward for this answer, and benefit us all with his knowledge, and may Allah prolong his life in obedience to Him.
The Shaykh : All of us.
The questioner : And the listeners, and may Allah reward you with the best reward, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon His servant and Messenger Muhammad.
