			A lot of the times nowadays you have
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:05
			many feminists who talk and it's open. They
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
			say, I don't need to be intimate. What's
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			the issue? Well, in the eyes of Allah,
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11
			there is an issue that this whole issue
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			of you getting married is in order to
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			be able to do certain things in a
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			halal way. If you are going to block
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22
			that, you're defying the entire purpose of the
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			whole marriage. Why did you get married in
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			the first place? So you would be held
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			liable in the eyes of Allah. Similarly, if
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			it was the opposite way around, women would
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			cry foul to say, listen, this guy is
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			not satisfying me. We've had hundreds of cases
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			come to our he's not satisfying me. This
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			guy is like this. He's like that. He's
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			gay or whatever they say. End of the
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			day, we have to tell him, hey, listen,
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			you need to fulfill the rights. Why is
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			it that when it's the other way around,
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			we think it's okay. He needs to fulfill
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			my rights, but I don't need to fulfill
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			his rights. What do you mean? It goes
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			2 ways. Habibi, it goes 2 ways. And
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			this is such a topic. People don't talk
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			about it. If there is any woman out
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			there who thinks that I just have a
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:00
			choice completely in Islam, then unfortunately the Islam
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			you're following is not the same Islam that
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:02
			came with the Prophet
