What is the ruling on giving money to those who build cement staircases on Mount al-Nur to facilitate the path for those passing through it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: We saw, when we were climbing Mount al-Nur, people placing money for a man who works to facilitate the path for those passing through Mount al-Nur, intending to go to the Cave of Hira. In other words, he was making baskets of cement, and he says, “Give charity for the value of the cement, and it is a charity for which you will be rewarded.” What is the ruling on that?

Answer:
This is a liar; this is a liar. It is not permissible to build elevators for Mount al-Nur, nor to build stairs that burden the Muslims, deceive them, and take their money. This is a bid'ah (religious innovation) and is not prescribed. It is not permissible to go to Mount al-Nur. Who told them to go to Mount al-Nur or climb it, when it is difficult, long, and full of dangers? All of this is from the work of Satan, and this action is not permissible. It is obligatory to deter this one who deceives people and takes their money. Yes.
