The Shaykh : I want to go back to Ziyad!
The questioner : Yes, Shaykh, please go ahead!
The Shaykh : This brother you mentioned who says: It is permissible for a woman to wear clothing at home, excuse me, trousers.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : At home, I said: Does she also pray in them?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And there is nothing wrong with that.
The questioner : No, he said this initially, after being confronted with your words.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : In the issue, one of the brothers in Jabal al-Nasr.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : With Shaykh Husayn, he confronted him: he brought the book of the wedding and spoke about the issue, the conditions of clothing, and so on.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : So he said: Then I adopt the ruling of prohibition, but I do not say: invalidity, because prohibition is one thing and ruling the prayer as invalid is another.
The Shaykh : We are satisfied with him, we are satisfied with what he said, we do not want more from him than that.
The questioner : Yes, of course, I took it.
The Shaykh : Excuse me, excuse me.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : The discussion is about the woman's clothing and her prayer.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So for me, this is what I concluded from expressing the observation in the second part of the topic.
The questioner : Very good.
The Shaykh : So you said: The doctor returned to the ruling of prohibition.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Okay, this is regarding the prayer, is it the same?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Okay, regarding his statement that it is permissible for a woman to wear trousers in her house, did he generalize or did he specify, and you summarized?
The questioner : He, our Shaykh, summarized, actually he did not specify the issue.
The Shaykh : Fine, the third and final question.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : The discussion is in the first issue regarding the woman's trousers in prayer.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Was it between you and him?
The questioner : No, that is the problem.
The Shaykh : Where was it?
The questioner : It was in the lecture in front ofThe student : the women and the students, so that is why I rebuked him.
The Shaykh : Okay, and when did he return?
The questioner : Of course, he returned during, in a second lecture, meaning in front ofThe student : the women.
The Shaykh : Meaning the brother who objected to him was in the assembly?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And he returned?
The questioner : He returned in front ofThe student : the women again.
The Shaykh: Good.
The questioner : Meaning in the same assembly.
The Shaykh : By Allah, this is something to be thanked for.
The questioner : But Shaykh, the problem is I rebuked him.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : I told him: meaning after he left, in a third lecture.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Of course, I spoke with him, so I told him: Now I also asked Shaykh Ahmad al-Salik.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward him with good.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : So he answered me with a somewhat logical answer, he said: Now the Islamic clothing that is required, he said to me: Now, is it permissible for a woman to go out in trousers?! He said: Because this is not Islamic clothing, and the woman is required in prayer to wear Islamic clothing.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : So is her trousers in prayer Islamic clothing or not Islamic?! When I told him this, he said: Ah, by Allah, it is correct, meaning, so I told him: Then since she has not applied it, he said: Then I say prohibition, but I do not say: invalidity.
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner : But I told him: meaning it would have been better if this issue had not been raised in front ofThe student : the women, becauseThe student : the women want something, just...
The Shaykh : They want something to latch onto.
The questioner : Because it is easy for them, some ofThe student : the women actually took what he said, meaning they were convinced by the doctor's words the first time, and here is the problem, so he told me: By Allah, the words are correct, especially sinceThe student : the women raised the topic in the college and it spread.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : So of course, some of the doctors denied it to him, I used to like, I take the subject with Dr. 'Umar al-Ashqar.
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : I take a subject with Dr. 'Umar.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : So I wanted to raise it in front of him, but Shaykh, actually, Dr. 'Umar has a dignity, the students are afraid to ask him.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : The dignity of knowledge, Subhan Allah!!
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : They respect him greatly, meaning Subhan Allah, but the doctor, our Shaykh, meaning this stranger, meaning.

The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : How? He is an Ikhwan, meaning from the Ikhwan, but they finished their doctorate at Umm al-Qura University in Makkah.

The questioner : So the doctor, for example, he used to give us the issue from the issues, he would give us the scholars' opinions on it.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Then the evidence for each opinion, then the responses of the first group to the second group, and so on, then he would say: the stronger position and why it is stronger.
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner : This was his style in teaching the subjects, and actually he was unique among many doctors in this style.
