Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, we see open-top buses in Hajj, you see in. Open-top buses, so is this from the praiseworthy 'Id?
Answer:
No, this is an excessive effort for which Allah has not sent down any authority. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) took shelter under a tent while in the state of ihram wearing the two pieces of cloth. A car is like a tent. If the shade is high above the head, like a tree or a roof, there is no harm in it. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did this. And this is merely a symbol of a known group.
