Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh Salih, we would also like to speak with you about the organizers of pilgrimage groups, what is obligatory for them, and what advice you have for them; because they take people with them and write up conditions. We ask for your guidance?
Answer:
It is obligatory for the organizers of pilgrimage groups to fear Allah, and their intention should not be mere greed, nor should they mistreat the pilgrims in their care. Rather, they must be kind to them, enable them to perform the rites of Hajj, and lodge them in Mina, not outside of Mina. They must not rush them before they have completed the rites. This is their obligation, for they are a trust in their custody; they have taken them on and are responsible for them. Yes.
