The questioner : Yes, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : It is extreme foolishness, extreme foolishness.
The questioner : I do not hear our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : It is extreme foolishness. Does a Muslim say such a thing?! She has a machine that produces what it produces; she does not want a male or a female, or is that the decree of the Almighty, the All-Knowing?
The questioner : The decree of the Almighty, the All-Knowing.
The Shaykh : So what is this foolishness? If she brings it, why is it something that is far from her?
The questioner : By Allah, the man said this, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : This is a fool; his divorce is not valid.
