"I would like a new riyal"
*Please appropriately reference this quote to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Concerning the Imaam, the Shaykh - Muhammad ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (rahima-hullaah), it has been narrated by Shaykh Ahmad al-Qar'aawee:

"Most of the time, before the Shaykh entered the masjid, a little girl of 6 years would approach him asking the Shaykh for a riyal. So, the Shaykh, smiling, would say to her:

"Would you like a (brand) new riyal or an old (used) riyal?"

So she would reply: "I would like a new riyal."

So the Shaykh would give her a new riyal and then she would ask him on behalf of her sister and the Shaykh would give her one (riyal) too."
