The prominent preacher’s wife confirmed that everything that had been said about him is true and that the monaqaba woman [the veil includes coverage of the face] was not making false claims. So his wife prevented him from going outside the house at all, and he could not even go to the mosque to pray. His wrongdoing has surrounded him on all sides. He could think about apologizing, but would his audience accept that apology? And would God forgive him for his betrayal of God’s Book? Only God knows.
