Reporting on a man who asks people for money while he is not in need
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I know a man who sits at one of the commercial establishments
The Shaykh:
Yes, they know him.
The questioner:
I know a man who has been sitting at one of the commercial establishments for years asking people for money, and he has prepared a place for himself, and the signs of need are not apparent on him. The question is: Is it permissible for me to report on him, because I think that if I advise him, he will say that he is in need?
The Shaykh:
You, rather withdraw from it.
The questioner:
If you advise him, you have guided him, and there is nothing on you.
The Shaykh:
Yes, and do not report on him.
The presenter:
Hold back and its opposite, yes.
