Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Our Shaykh, the best that has been said regarding the hadith:
When a woman leaves her home, Satan looks at her with desire إذا خرجت المرأة من بيتها استشرفها الشيطان
, is it possible to reconcile it with the hadith:
It was commanded to look at the sacrificial animal أمر أن تستشرف الأضحية
, that is, Satan turns it over and starts playing with it?

The Shaykh : No, it is the Satan who displays her in an enticing manner before men. That looking at the sacrificial animal is practical, material, and tangible.

The questioner : Okay, so is it possible, Shaykh, that it is like this — that he also messes with it?

The Shaykh : It is not what comes to mind.

The questioner : Ah, metaphysical, you mean?

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : Shall we move the table away from you, Shaykh?

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : Move the table?

The Shaykh : No, I am not upset, but I want the reconciliation to be complete, so that we can hear the brother's question. I do not know if there will be any more movements or if we are finished?

The questioner : We are finished.

The Shaykh : Please, Professor.
