Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Shaykh Salih, what is the ruling in the Shari'ah, in your view, regarding one who rebuffs the person who asked him by Allah?
The Shaykh:
This diminishes tawhid (the oneness of Allah) because he did not magnify Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). So this diminishes tawhid. Yes.
The questioner:
But Shaykh Salih, the one asked may feel uncomfortable. So is it obligatory, I mean, for him to answer when the person says, "I ask you by Allah"?
The Shaykh:
Yes, the apparent ruling is that it is obligatory for him. It is obligatory for him to fulfill the request if the request is permissible and he is able to answer it and reward him. Yes.
