Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Let me ask a question. I did not ask this question, but now, our Shaykh, why do we not consider Saddam's action regarding Kuwait as a breaking of the Sykes-Picot borders and the elimination of the weak, feeble states in favor of a great, strong state that unifies the Muslims first?
The Shaykh : What Allah willed.
The questioner : And the Arabs second?
The Shaykh : Does he intend to unify the Muslims?
The questioner : O our Shaykh, are we to look into his intention?
The Shaykh : I am asking you, and you answer. You are asking, and it is up to us to answer. Does he intend to unify the Muslims?
The questioner : It appears to us that he wants to cut off these aid supplies from ... .
The Shaykh : You did not answer me. May Allah guide you. One word and cover it up. They say, does he intend or does he not intend?
The questioner : It appears that he intends.
The Shaykh : And where was he in all these circumstances, being the absolute ruler in Iraq, with the implementation and application of Islamic rulings?
The questioner : But does this prevent it now, O our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : I am asking you. May Allah guide you. Where was he?
The questioner : I am saying, regardless of where he was, does this prevent it?
The Shaykh : What do you say? I want to hear your answer to what I said. Where was he? Now say whatever you wish.
The questioner : Whatever it was, but now, does it prevent it that he was whatever he was, O our Shaykh? Does it prevent it?
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you, my brother. It does not prevent it. Did he correct his position regarding Islam, which was contrary to Islam in the past? Did he correct his position?
The questioner : May Allah will it, he is in the process of correcting it.
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you. Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : What Allah willed.
