The ruling on asking a poor person for supplication when giving him charity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on one who gives charity to a poor person and says to him, “Pray for me”?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it, but it is better not to ask him for anything, because this involves demanding and buying and selling. If he is poor, you give to him, and if you do good to him, he prays for you, and you have a reward for that, even if he does not pray for us. There is no need for such a thing. Yes.
