Benefits of the Hadith: (That a black slave woman had a tent in the mosque . . . ) .
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The author cited this hadith for a benefit, which is the permissibility of setting up a tent for a slave woman if she has no one to take responsibility for her. This is a case of dire necessity. There were likely also specific circumstances that necessitated this. I mean, this is a specific case; we cannot say from it that it is permissible to set up tents for slave women in general. This is a specific case that necessitated setting up a tent for this slave woman in the mosque.
One of the benefits of this hadith is that people converse with one another in the manner of the Salaf. A person must speak with people, as he is a social being by nature. Therefore, we see that if a man is isolated, does not converse with people, and they do not converse with him, he becomes depressed. If he were to open up, it would be better for him.
If someone says that excessive talk is to be feared, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) saidJami` at-Tirmidhi 2500Sahih (Darussalam), the answer is that good is of two types:
Good in the speech itself, such as enjoining good and forbidding evil, and ... and the like.
And good for others, meaning for the sake of something other than the speech itself. This is when the speech is permissible talk, but he intends to converse with his brothers to bring them joy and to relax. This is good, even if the content of the speech is not good in itself, because bringing joy to your brothers is among the things that are required, for which a person is rewarded. Yes.
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you. Now, regarding the festivals and occasions, the permissible matters: in some areas, they consider ... less ... disliked. Should a person announce such matters?
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : He should announce them.
The Shaykh : Announce what?
The questioner : In the Friday sermon, meaning he says, "There is no harm in playing, there is no harm on the day of the festival ..."
The Shaykh : I do not see a need for that ... But if he is asked, he clarifies. He clarifies the truth. As for saying to people, "Go out to the open area, set up the display, set up this and that," I do not see this in the sermons. But if he is asked, he answers with the truth.
The questioner : O Shaykh, now if he is asked about something that leads to a violation?
The Shaykh : If he is asked?
The questioner : Yes, ... they do not have knowledge.
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : The second point is that it leads to the gathering of young men, and perhaps they bring a closed ... and there is staying up late, and there is smoke, and there are narcotics ..
The Shaykh : But it is less severe if it is brought in privately than if it is announced from the pulpit.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : I see that what is permitted by the Sunnah is not prevented from ... and the dangers that may result from it prevent it. Yes, Yahya.

And whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, then let him say what is good or remain silent.
مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَصْمُتْGood in the speech itself, such as enjoining good and forbidding evil, and ... and the like.
