Refusal of Shaykh Al-Imam Muqbil to meet Ambassadress of America

One time the Ambassadress of America in the time of the Shaykh came to Damaaj hoping to meet him and she was told “the shaykh doesn’t meet women!” and they dressed her with Islamic clothing and entered her into the women’s section and obviously she was angry that she could not meet the Shaykh as she wanted to boast about her meeting with Shaykh Muqbil. The point is upon you is to seek knowledge.

Taken from a answer of Shaykh Hasan ibn Qaasim Ar-Raymee to a question.
