Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a beggar stood up today after the midday prayer and spoke about his situation. Among the things he said was, “I ask you by the right of this obligatory prayer,” meaning the midday prayer. Is this statement permissible?
Answer:
Teach them; tell them this is not permissible. Teach them: do not ask by the right of an obligation or by the right of anyone. He should ask and say, “I am in need,” and that is sufficient. Yes.
