A request

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.
