Advice for Pilgrims to Abandon Wrongdoing and Sins
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: It has become widespread among the pilgrims to commit wrongdoings and sins in these times and in these noble places, such as smoking and other things. We ask for your advice to these people, perhaps Allah will guide them along with this Hajj. Shsh.
Answer:
It is obligatory for the Muslim to guard against sins in every time and in every place, but in Makkah and during the days of Hajj it is greater and more severe. So it is obligatory to guard against backbiting, talebearing, consuming riba (usury or interest), cutting or shaving the beard, smoking, and other such sins. It is obligatory for the pilgrim and others to guard against what Allah the Exalted has forbidden, and the matter in Makkah and during the days of Hajj is more severe and more dangerous. We ask Allah for safety for everyone.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
