Question:
The questioner says: Some benefactors distribute dates to the worshippers in the Haram, seeking reward, but some do not eat them; instead, they place them on the ground or in cups. Then the female cleaning workers come and take the dates and put them in the trash bags, and in this way, this blessing is disrespected in large quantities. Is there any guidance for people regarding preserving this blessing?

Answer:
It is obligatory for you to report this to the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques. Report to the Presidency what you have seen and what is happening, and they will, if Allah wills, fulfill their duty. Yes.
