The Right of the Poor Person Who Does Not Ask
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah for you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is the poor person who does not ask better, or the poor person who asks?
Answer:
Both have a right, but the one who does not ask has a stronger claim, because he does not make a mistake while he is in need. As for this one, he asks you, then asks the second person, then asks the third, and he is given. But that other one is not given anything, so he has the stronger claim.
