The Ruling on Driving Away Locusts in Mina

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If a person is sitting in a place at the time of the locusts and wants to remain in this location, does he have to leave, or does he drive away this prey?

The Shaykh:
Good. If a person wants to sit in Mina, for example, in the Haram, in Mina or in the Haram, and he sits in his place and the locusts come, is it obligatory for him to leave, or does he drive them away? Fine. It was rare. If a locust sits in his place, does he sit and drive away the prey because he has the right to it, or do we say that he leaves and does not drive away the locust? This happens a lot. Does it take the ruling that one does not drive away its prey? No, by the permission of Allah. If it falls on him, what is he to do with driving it away? If it falls on his clothes or his knowledge, what is he to do with driving it away? For the sake of keeping the tool, some of the Salaf said that the provision is that he moves it from one place to another. Or he drives it away from its place so that he can enjoy his place or sit in his place. This is a type of driving away. As for something that he is afflicted with, that falls on his head, or falls from his head, or falls from his hand, or falls from his garment, this is called driving away. Yes.

Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The chapter on the description of Hajj and entering Makkah. From Jabir ibn 'Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)
performed Hajj, and we went out with him.حج فخرجنا معه.
We set out with him till we reached Dhu'l-Hulaifa. Asma' daughter of Umais gave birth to Muhammad b. Abu Bakr. She sent message to the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) asking him: What should 1 do? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Take a bath, bandage your private parts and put on Ihram. The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) then prayed in the mosque and then mounted al-Qaswa (his she-camel) and it stood erect with him on its back at al-Baida'.حتى إذا أتينا ذا الحليفة فولدت أسماء بنت عميس، فقال اغتسلي واستثفري بثوب وأحرميه، وصلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في المسجد، ثم ركب القصواء حتى إذا استوت به على البيداء.
Sahih Muslim 1218a
He pronounced the Oneness of Allah (saying):" Labbaik,0 Allah, Labbaik, Labbaik. Thou hast no partner, praise and grace is Thine and the Sovereignty too; Thou hast no partner."أهل بالتوحيد، لبيك اللهم لبيك، لبيك لا شريك لك، لبيك، إن الحمد والنعمة لك والملك، لا شريك لك
Sahih Muslim 1218a
, until when we reached the House, he touched the Corner with his hand, then ran three circuits and walked four, then he went to the Station of Ibrahim and prayed, then he returned to the Corner and touched it with his hand, then he went out through the door to al-Safa. When he approached al-Safa, he recited:
Indeed, as-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allahإِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِن شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:158]
I begin with what Allah began with. He climbed al-Safa until he saw the House, then he faced

The Shaykh:
May Allah keep you.

The presenter:
He climbed al-Safa.

The Shaykh:
May Allah reward you with good.
