Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I go to the Maqam Ibrahim seeking reward from Allah, and I push away the people who rub themselves against it.
Answer:
Pushing, my brother, is not appropriate except for the men of the hisbah (public authority) or those in charge of public order. As for admonition and reminding, there is no harm in you reminding them. You say: "My brothers, this is not prescribed, and you have no reward in it." Reminding is not forbidden. However, pushing is the exclusive domain of the authorities, so that no harm results from it. It is possible that if you push one person, he might hit you, or they might hit you. But as for those who have authority, they cannot hit him because he has authority. So what you are capable of is admonition and reminding. May Allah reward you with good.
