Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: If the questioner is in good health and physically robust, and does not complain of any ailment, is it permissible when he asks to encourage him to work and to stop asking people?
Answer:
Yes, as long as the opportunity to seek a livelihood is suitable, he should not ask. Rather, he should work and toil, and eating from his own earnings is better for him than asking.
