The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : O Shaykh, regarding the saying of Allah, Mighty and Majestic: the exegetes differed as to whether they are the women of the Muslims or of their kind. We have preferred!
The Shaykh : We have preferred that they are of their kind.
The questioner : Of their kind. And 'Umar ibn al-Khattab sent a message to the people of Sham that they should distinguish between the women of the Muslims and the women of the People of the Book. What do you say about this?
The Shaykh : We say: First: verify the transmission. Second: distinguishing is not the same issue as exposure. Perhaps, if the transmission from 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) is authentic, he saw that the women would corrupt the women of the believers, so he saw that it is obligatory to distinguish them.
As for exposure, that is another matter. They may expose themselves, and it is a difference for her, for example, if she passes by her or sits with her.
The questioner : Perhaps he meant the lower part of Sham, which requires the baths?
The Shaykh : In any case, I do not know about this report, but it is necessary to demand the authenticity of the transmission. I saw this principle in the words of the Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) in the book *Al-Minhaj*. When he mentioned what the Rafidah transmit, he said: This is rejected for several reasons. The first reason: demanding the authenticity of the transmission. If the transmission is not authentic, it is gone, and everything ends.
