Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence the Shaykh, are those who stand at the gates of the Haram, snatching people and leading them in tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah) and taking a fee from them for assistance in the tawaf, is their action a sunnah (recommended practice) or a bid'ah (religious innovation), given their ignorance of the rulings of tawaf?
The Shaykh : This falls under the jurisdiction of the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques.
