Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on calling the pilgrims to the House of Allah the "guests of Allah"?
Answer:
May it suffice, if Allah wills. It is a good thing. They came not seeking wealth, nor seeking this world, but rather they came to obey Allah and to respond to the call of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Yes, so it is hoped that they are the friends of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. As for the intentions of people, no one knows them but Allah; we only know the outward appearance.
