Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said:Sunan al-Bayhaqi 4:332 Yes, indeed. Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy. I think the door should be opened. Open the door so that you can sit outside and listen, if Allah wills. Yes.
The questioner : Your Eminence, I have three questions.
The Shaykh : We will accept only one question from her.
