I have enough money, but I ask some rulers and some merchants for money in the cause of da'wah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If I have enough money, but I sometimes ask some of the rulers and some of the merchants for money to provision myself with good in the causes of good and in the path of da'wah, is there anything wrong with my action?

Answer:
In the path of da'wah, and if you are not able to carry out da'wah, there is no objection. It is a righteous deed, and the reward is for you and for them. As for taking money for yourself when you have enough, you say this question is from a ruler; there is no objection to asking a ruler. But asking people when you are not in need, that is not permissible. Asking people when you are not in need for yourself is not permissible. This is asking without need. Yes.
