Question:
Is it permissible to provide the secondary fees in the Haram to feed six poor people instead of entering the state of ihram from the miqat?
Answer:
You do not know them, and you do not trust everyone. This is an obligation upon you, so you give to the poor people with your own hand. There are many poor people, especially in Makkah, who receive charity. There is no harm in asking the workers in the Haram or others about the poor people so they can direct you to them, and you give it to them yourself over the days.
