Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A man says: I paid the zakah on four hundred sheep, but I do not have any sheep; I did it only to get a visa. What is the ruling on that, and what is required of him?
The Shaykh:
A visa.
The questioner:
It is a visa, Shaykh, so that he can bring his workers.
The Shaykh:
This is a trick and a lie. This is a trick and a lie, and it is not permissible. This action is not permissible because it is a lie and a trick. Yes.
