The Shaykh’s discussion with the student regarding making a video to clarify the manner of prayer.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student : He says to me, "I consulted the Shaykh about drawing the manner of prayer."
The Shaykh: Yes.
The student : And the Shaykh agreed with me. Was that so, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : By Allah, perhaps that was the extent of the discussion. As for the details of how he should draw it and how he should do it, I do not think that level of detail was discussed.
The student : He now wants the full details. He tells me, "Ask our Shaykh what I should draw and what the boundaries are."
The Shaykh : The problem is, I agree to the video if the conditions are met: a person who knows "the manner of the Prophet’s prayer" correctly and can express it, providing an accurate description of every movement he makes.
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : But if he films it with his hand, first of all, it will not be precise, and it will be a stiff, static image.
The student : Yes, it does not serve the purpose.
The Shaykh : The intended purpose. Yes, we go straight to it and do not go down to the town.
The student : By Allah, O Shaykh, what would put you at ease—what is his name? We greet Khalid. If he has something urgent, we asked him... O Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Yes.
