Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for me to turn away the questioner, meaning the beggar who asks in the mosque? And is it permissible for the imam of the mosque to turn him away and prevent him?
Answer:
One does not turn away the questioner unless one knows that he is a liar and that he has a means of support, but if we do not know, we give him because of his asking; the questioner has a right.
