Given the multitude of tasks and telephone calls for fatwas you receive from all over the world, do you have time and space for more scientific projects?

The questioner : Our brothers, the students of knowledge, who are mostly from Saudi Arabia, always ask when I meet them. They know that I visit Oman, and they ask: What occupies your time at this moment, in terms of authenticating books or writing?
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : They say that our Shaykh is busy, that his time is occupied with calls coming from all over the world, and so on. So, in addition to this, are you busy? In addition to receiving calls for fatwas, whether from within Jordan or outside it, are you busy writing new books or authenticating new books? That is what our brothers ask!
The Shaykh : It is so, may Allah bless you. This is my field of work.
The questioner : And what are you working on? I am asking there. Which book are you working on?
The Shaykh : I recently finished Sahih al-Adab al-Mufrad.
The questioner : From Sahih?
The Shaykh : Al-Adab al-Mufrad by Imam al-Bukhari.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : I finished it some time ago, in terms of authentication, and I recently finished correcting its narrations.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And it will be printed soon.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : Following it is its counterpart: Da'if al-Adab al-Mufrad.
The questioner : May Allah bless you, may Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : And there are other projects, of course, where one takes hold of the other.
The questioner : May Allah bless you and benefit through you.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
The questioner : Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. His hadith is authentic.
The questioner : It is amazing, by Allah.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : This is an amazing matter.
The Shaykh : He is truthful in his hadith, his hadith is sound, and his hadith is authentic.
The questioner : Where is this, my Shaykh?
The Shaykh : This is in al-Lisan, and its transmitter is al-Suyuti in al-La'ali al-Masnu'ah. The book of al-Jarh wa al-Ta'dil does not have this entire biography! Who removed it, Allah knows. They call the Maghrib prayer ten minutes after the time.
The questioner: Allahu Akbar.
The Shaykh : And Isha is half an hour.
The questioner : You used to hasten the Isha prayer!
The Shaykh : Ah, and therefore we hardly wait for the legal time to enter before we pray, to welcome those who may come to us. But you hastened the good, if Allah wills.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
