Umm Abdillah, wife of Shaikh Muhammad ibn Saalih al Uthaymeen (Rahimahu Allah):
Question 15: What were the steps the Shaykh took in seeking knowledge, and what was your role in that?
Answer: The Shaykh began teaching in the Grand Mosque in Unayzah following the death of his Shaykh . Abd ar Rahman ibn Naasir as Saa'di even before I married him. At that time he used to consider himself a student of knowledge. Concerning my assistance, it was manifested in not distracting him from seeking knowledge and propagating it. I use to serve and make avaible to him what would support his efforts.I would also follow the children and take care of them except in matters that required his notification so that he could direct, admonish and seek a solution.
Question 22: Where did the Shaykh like to spend his rest time?
Answer: In reality, the Shaykh did not know rest time ; all of his time was bussy, even when he was sitting with us, the phone sometimes would ring , and he would spend a lot of time addressing the call. His rest time was in propagating the knowledge, meeting people's need and fatawa.
Question 31: We would like an admonition from you to the wives of the callers and students of knowledge?
Answer: They should preserv their husbands, openly and secretly. In addition they should prepare for them the best situations and conditions to continue providing their duties of dawah and knowledge. Also, I incite them that they should not be bothered by the busy schedule of their husbands and their time spend travelling, seeking reward.
Question 47: If one would ask the father (i.e. the Shaykh) to admonish me as a girl, whay would you expect from him ?
Answer: He would admonish you as he would admonish one of his daughters and all of the daughters of the Muslims to fear Allah openly and secretly, to be righteous to the parents , uphold the ties of kidship, preserve the husband, and fear Allah regarding raising the children Islamically based on leniency and kindness.
