The Mosque Imam’s Dealing with Beggars
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I am the imam of a mosque, and beggars come and ask people for money. Should I prevent them and be strict about it, or should I leave them to the competent authorities?
Answer:
Leave them to the competent authorities, because if you get involved with them in preventing them, it will cause a commotion in the mosque, and it will also be difficult for you to be a police officer in the mosque. The competent authorities are the ones who follow up on them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with the best reward, and may Allah bless your knowledge, your work, and your life, and may He make Islam and the Muslims benefit from you.
