Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it obligatory to give to the one who asks us in the name of Allah?

The Shaykh:
Yes, in the hadith
and if anyone asks you (for something) for Allah’s sake, give himمن سألكم بالله فأعطوه
Sunan Abi Dawud 5109Sahih (Al-Albani)
because this is an oath upon you; he asked you in the name of Allah, swearing by Allah that you will give to him.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh:
It is out of magnifying Allah. If you give, you have magnified Allah. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said:
And fear Allah, through whom you ask one anotherوَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي تَسَاءَلُونَ بِهِ
[An-Nisa 4:1]
Some of you say to others: I ask you in the name of Allah. Yes.
