Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A third question.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : I have a relative who will come to the Sacred House of Allah to perform the obligatory Hajj, and he has no money. He asked us to help him so he can go to perform the obligatory Hajj. Is that permissible, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : He asked you for money, meaning a loan?
The questioner : No, no, not a loan. He asked all the brothers to help him gather money, not a loan, O Shaykh. It is assistance so he can go to perform the obligatory Hajj. Is that permissible?
The Shaykh : If he is poor, it is permissible.
The questioner : He does not work, O Shaykh. He does not work. He is from... he does not work.
The Shaykh : I say if he is poor, it is permissible. Did you understand?
The questioner : Yes, it is permissible.
The Shaykh : If he is poor.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Now, what about the rest?
The questioner : If he is poor, that is permissible.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And may Allah protect you, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh: Yes.
