Where was Abu Bakr's window?

The Shaykh : 'Abd.

The questioner : I say, O Shaykh, may Allah bless you, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that every window be closed except Abu Bakr's window...

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : Is this window in the mosque itself...

The Shaykh : The window, yes, these are openings from the houses onto the mosque, but it is a khukhah, meaning a small door, not the door through which household items and necessities are brought in.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : Outside, how...? It overlooks the mosque.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : No, no, outside.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : Now there is nothing outside the mosque.

The questioner : This is outside the mosque...

The Shaykh : Yes, the one behind the wall, the one behind the wall is outside the mosque. There are houses, for example, with doors, small doors from which a person goes directly out to the mosque.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : Now, this one behind the wall is a house with an opening through which its owner enters; this is the khukhah.
