Question:
You have, your Eminence, vast knowledge and deep love and
respect in the hearts of people. Could we ask you to move
to Riyadh or Makkah
in order that more people might benefit from your knowledge?
May Allaah bless you.
Response:
That is easier for me. I thought that those from America wanted
me to move there. Moving to Makkah
is more preferable than staying in Qaseem because Makkah
is the best and most blessed place. However, people always
consider that there is more benefit in living where they are.
I ask Allaah to make us of those that always have in mind
the benefit and advantage of remaining where they are, whether
it is in their own country or another Muslim country.
