The questioner: In the well-known hadith, which is regarding the fragrance of a man

The Shaykh: What is the number of this question?

The questioner: This question is one, two, three, this is the fourth now

The Shaykh: I asked the fourth

The questioner: Yes

The Shaykh: Why are you forbidding me? It is clear to you

That the fragrance of a man has a scent but no color إنه طيب الرجل له رائحة ما له لون

The opposite of a woman بعكس المرأة
