Continuation of the explanation of the hadith of Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father): (… and whoever asks in the name of Allah, give to him)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He said (peace and blessings be upon him):
if anyone begs in Allah's name, give him something ومَن سأل بالله فأعطوه
Sunan Abi Dawud 1672Sahih (Al-Albani)
This means that when a man or a person who is a beggar asks for his right, it is obligatory for the one asked to fulfill the beggar's request. I only said "when a beggar comes asking for his right" because today, begging has become a profession, and asking in the name of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has become the easiest thing, meaning they do not honor the name of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He). If they honored it, they would not make it a means to ask in His name (Mighty and Majestic), even for a single coin or a loan. "Allah, give me a qirsh, give me a franc." It is not permissible, from another perspective, to ask in the name of the Great Allah except for something great that we cannot do without. Therefore, we say in explaining this phrase, this part of the hadith:
And whoever asks in the name of Allah ومَن سأل بالله
meaning: for a right
Give to him فأعطوه
because he asked for a right, and that is when we are able to fulfill it. As for the one who asks in the name of Allah without honoring Allah or regarding His greatness (Blessed and Exalted is He), if we could, we would discipline him, not only prevent him, but punish him severely; because he has made asking in the name of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) his profession, and this is not permissible and not befitting. But the one who asks in the name of Allah with a justified request, he should be given.
