Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "And in another narration reported by al-Khallal: And that we do not strike our bells except with a soft strike inside our churches, and that we do not display a cross on them".
The Shaykh : I do not have "softly" in my copy.
The reader: "And that we do not display a cross on them, and that we do not raise our voices".
The Shaykh : ... the first wording is "softly".
The reader: "And that we do not raise our voices in prayer or recitation in our churches in the presence of Muslims, and that we do not bring out a cross or books in the markets of the Muslims"
The Shaykh : And not a book
The reader: "And not a book in the markets of the Muslims, and that we do not bring out a ba'uth - and the ba'uth is: they go out and gather as we go out on the day of 'Id al-Adha and 'Id al-Fitr - and that we do not bring out Shu'aniyya, and that we do not raise our voices with our dead, and that we do not display fires with them in the markets of the Muslims, and that we do not neighbor them with pigs, and that we do not sell intoxicants".
The student: We pass by them
The Shaykh : Is it with a zay in your copy or with a ra?
The reader: Yes, with a ra.
The Shaykh : Look at the manuscripts, is it not there?
The reader: He said: "It says in manuscript B 'with the funerals' in one manuscript, and 'with the funerals' in manuscript T, and what I have established is more correct".
The Shaykh : What I have is "and that we do not pass by them in the funerals," and what do you have?
The reader: And that we do not pass by them with the funerals.
The Shaykh : The point is, it is not with pigs. That we do not neighbor them, perhaps with pigs, but that we do not pass by them, the closer one is funerals. If it is that we do not pass by them, funerals is closer.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, if it is passing by them, then it is more likely with the funerals. I have "that we pass by them in the funerals."
The student: And if it is that we do not neighbor them with pigs, that is better.
The Shaykh : Yes, yes.
The reader: "Until he said:".
The Shaykh : In wearing, or a qalansuwa.
The reader: It says in manuscript B "or a qalansuwa" in one manuscript.
The Shaykh : Manuscript, okay.
The reader: " And these conditions are the most famous thing in the books of fiqh and knowledge".
The Shaykh : Because parting the forelocks is a symbol of the Muslims, but unfortunately now the Muslims have started to imitate them in parting the forelocks from the side, in parting the hair from the side. It is not the forelocks, it is parting the hair from the side. You find, for example, a man or a woman parts it from the side, either the left or the right, according to his mood. To Allah we belong and to Him we return.
The student: Zananir.
The Shaykh : Zananir. A belt in the middle, a belt of a specific shape that they tie in the middle.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : The parting. Any hair that is parted to one side, in the middle, to the right and the left, in the forelock and in the back, in the middle also, so that what is on the back falls down. Yes.
The Shaykh : I do not have "softly" in my copy.
The reader: "And that we do not display a cross on them, and that we do not raise our voices".
The Shaykh : ... the first wording is "softly".

The reader: "Until he said:
And that we adhere to our dress wherever we are, and that we do not imitate the Muslims in wearing a qalansuwa or an 'imamah
وأن نلزم زينا حيثما كنا، وأن لا نتشبه بالمسلمين في لبسِ قلنسوة ولا عمامةThe Shaykh : In wearing, or a qalansuwa.
The reader: It says in manuscript B "or a qalansuwa" in one manuscript.
The Shaykh : Manuscript, okay.
The reader: "
And that we do not imitate the Muslims in wearing a qalansuwa or an 'imamah, or sandals, or parting the hair, or in their mounts, and that we do not speak their language, and that we do not take their kunyas, and that we shave the foreparts of our heads, and that we do not part our forelocks, and that we tie the zananir around our waists
وأن لا نتشبه بالمسلمين في لبس قُلنسوة ولا عِمامة ، ولا نعلين، ولا فَرقِ شعر، ولا في مراكبهم، ولا نتكلم بكلامهم، ولا نَكتني بكناهم، وأن نجزَّ مقادم رؤوسِنا، ولا نفرق نواصينا، وأن نشد الزنانير على أَوْساطناThe Shaykh : Because parting the forelocks is a symbol of the Muslims, but unfortunately now the Muslims have started to imitate them in parting the forelocks from the side, in parting the hair from the side.
