Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, I read in a book that whoever intends to perform Hajj or 'Umrah should pray two rak'ahs, face the qiblah, make du'a', and return trusts to their owners. Is this based on evidence?
Answer:
Yes, and it is reported that if one has a need, he should pray two rak’ahs and then supplicate to Allah for the fulfillment of that need. As for returning deposits and trusts, this is obligatory, even if there is no specific need; it is obligatory in every case.
