			I'm Mohammed Al Ghazali Alayr Hamu in, Medan
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			Mustafa Mahmoud
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			in Egypt. He would sit every Friday. Imagine
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			this great scholar, one of the greatest scholars
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			of his time in the nineties before he
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:12
			died. And he would sit in that masjid
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			and answer questions for people. So there will
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			be a line, man.
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			Out the up all the way outside. There'll
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			be a lot of people. And people come,
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			can I do this with my finger? Can
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			I is it? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:22
			Okay.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			No problem. No problem. No. There's questions people
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			ask it here. Right? And they're important to
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			them, but he knows these are issues where
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			people negotiate in ambiguity. But then my teacher,
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			Sheikh Islam from Libya, he told me, doctor
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:34
			Islam, now
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			that a woman came and said, Sheikh, I
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			was told it's haram for me to work.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			You know what he said? Sit down
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			and tell me the story. My husband died.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			I don't have a wadi. I'm taking care
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			of my kids, and people told me it's
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			harang for me to work.
