The questioner : In the hadith graded as hasan by Shaykh Mubarak ibn Hadi, or the athar from 'Ali "that he used to place his hands above his navel", what is your opinion?
The Shaykh : Above
The questioner : His navel
The Shaykh : A position above the navel
The questioner : A position above the navel, this navel, above it on the belly, meaning
The Shaykh : If it is above the navel
The questioner : Yes
The Shaykh : So is the intended meaning above the navel like this, or like this?
The questioner : Above the navel
The Shaykh : This navel
The questioner : This navel, above it, yes
The Shaykh : Oh, what, what? According to the Turk's saying, is this navel above it like this or like this?
The questioner : It is possible it is this, and it is possible it is that, and Allah knows best
The Shaykh : So interpret this with that; interpret the "above" here as placing on the chest
The questioner : Placing on the chest, may Allah reward you with good
The Shaykh : Since you have put yourself at ease, put others at ease
The questioner : Yes
The Shaykh : When you said it is possible it is this and that, the matter ended
The questioner : Yes
The Shaykh : But the original question was before the possibility came to your mind; when the possibility came to your mind, you said, or else, if you had remembered, you would not have asked, correct?
The questioner : Yes, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : ... How are you?
The questioner : It is prohibited
The Shaykh : It is prohibited except due to inability, illness, or a temporary excuse
The questioner : Or fatigue, for example, is that possible?
The Shaykh : If that is the only thing that puts him at ease, it is possible, but I think he might find another way
The questioner : Some of them qualified it, saying it is permissible if he places his hand like this, not like this, yes
The Shaykh : We do not know a basis for this application
The Shaykh : It was reported to me, and it was reported to me, that he did not acknowledge it
The questioner : Yes
The Shaykh : Is that not so?
