Exile in our reality today: Is it within the state of the one who judged him?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you. In our situation today, is the exile carried out within the country where his ruler is one?
The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct.
The questioner : But, Shaykh, it does not result in him being a stranger. If he were exiled today to, for example, the western region, it would be easy to reach him, and it would be easy for him to move to...?
The Shaykh : But the important thing is that he considers himself a stranger. For example, if I travel to Riyadh, I become a stranger.
The questioner : But maintaining his presence in that region is difficult, because he might reach this region secretly.
The Shaykh : They place a person with him to stay by his side if there is fear of his return, or if he returns, they discipline him in a way that makes him never return again.
The questioner : And if we cannot do all this, Shaykh, why don’t we take him out to a country where it is not possible...?
The Shaykh : We are afraid that if we take him to a place in a nearby state, it will be said, “No, this is close and contact will occur. Take him elsewhere.” We take him, and they say, “This is still close.” He reaches America and Russia.
The student: An island...
The Shaykh : No, it is not like that anymore. The scholars have specified that he is exiled only from his country.
The questioner : Regarding men imitating women, does this include imitating a woman’s voice if...?
The Shaykh : Yes, that is right.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct.
The questioner : But, Shaykh, it does not result in him being a stranger. If he were exiled today to, for example, the western region, it would be easy to reach him, and it would be easy for him to move to...?
