The Shaykh : The Frenchman.
The questioner : If the Frenchman converts and was addicted to intoxicants, is it permissible for us to use with him the gradual approach that the Qur'an used?
The Shaykh : I will answer you with a theoretical answer, but it is a real one: is it possible to present Islam to him all at once in a single leap?
The questioner: No.
The Shaykh : No, so, heh heh. Now, who has a question?
