Receiving 'Umrah pilgrims at barbershops
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: In Makkah, some barbershop owners go out to receive 'Umrah pilgrims who have finished their 'Umrah and take them to the barbershop. Is this considered receiving travelers (talaqq al-rukkab)? Is it permissible for the 'Umrah pilgrim to go with this broker? Or is it obligatory for him to leave him and go on his own?
Answer:
This is not permissible. All the shops are open to seek a livelihood. Let him go to the one he wants, and do not receive him or meet him. It is obligatory for the municipality to prevent these people.
