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.
