The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the meaning of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said to him?
The Shaykh:
From both of them, 'A'ishah twice.
The questioner:
He probably means 'A'ishah and her father.
The Shaykh:
He did not mention her father (may Allah be pleased with her). Yes.
The questioner:
He said: 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I said, "O Messenger of Allah, should we not build you a house in Mina to shelter you?" He said, "No, Mina is a resting place for whoever arrives first." What is the meaning of the hadith?
The Shaykh:
The meaning of the hadith is that no one is to protect Mina from the people; rather, he takes only what he needs, and everyone who arrives at Mina takes only what he needs and leaves the rest for the people. It is not permissible for anyone to build a structure in it that remains for him; rather, every year he comes and stays in whatever place is available to him. Yes.
