Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said that Allah has disliked three things for you, one of which is excessive questioning. Does this include asking people about their conditions that do not concern the questioner?
Answer:
Any question that has no purpose and no benefit falls under this. A question that has a benefit, a result, and a good outcome is different. As for asking out of curiosity, there is no benefit in it. Likewise, asking the scholars excessively without need is also not desirable. You should only ask about what you need or what the people need. Yes.
