Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh!
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : In some places, it is!
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : There are places for ablution; does their ruling match that of the toilet?
The Shaykh : No, do you mean the washing places?
The questioner : In some places.
The Shaykh : There are washing places and, for example, places for urination; I do not think they fall under the category of the toilet—yes?
The questioner : May Allah reward you: It is considered here that the command was given to him:, so it became with al-Mughirah, then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: So from where did we say that he performed istinja' with water?
The Shaykh : I believe, Ya Firas, that when the Messenger said:, he did not want to show off his muscles, meaning, "Pour it on me"; that is its meaning, and it does not admit any other interpretation, is that clear?
The questioner : May Allah forgive you, O Shaykh. Serving the Messenger, O Shaykh, is an honor and nearness to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
The Shaykh : Yes, we ask Allah to make us and you among those who serve His Sunnah, otherwise, it is not possible for us to serve it now!
The questioner : ... It is a favor from Him.
The Shaykh : The favor, the favor of the Messenger upon the servant.
The questioner : Yes, but O Shaykh, nowadays some people serve, and the servant does not like...
The Shaykh : What do they choose?
Do you guarantee that a person who offers himself to serve someone does so unless he loves to serve him?
The questioner : He serves him out of greed for worldly gain.
The Shaykh : No, no, it is for honor, or it could be greed for worldly gain; it could be that this is a ruler and he wants to serve him, and if he offers him his sandals, he gives him a thousand riyals, for example, to serve him twice.
The questioner : By Allah, O Shaykh, some people serve out of a desire for status.
The Shaykh : The important thing is that the motives, may Allah bless you, are many; the motives are many, but for one to serve a person and wish to serve him because he loves him for the sake of Allah, that is the one.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : Yes.

Take the water vessel
