Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says: Is there a word of guidance on the occasion of the arrival of winter, and to encourage the brothers to donate to their brothers in every place?
The Shaykh : And by Allah, in any case: There is no doubt that people need in the winter season what they do not need in other seasons, namely the cold, for it is in it that the severe cold and hunger are usually found. Therefore, we encourage our brothers to check on their brothers, and to give them from what Allah the Mighty and Majestic has given them, with sincerity and hoping for reward from Allah the Mighty and Majestic. For He says:[Saba 34:39] May Allah grant us and you excellence in His worship, and excellence in treating His servants. Indeed, He is Generous and Noble. And may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
The questioner : With His knowledge, and prolong his life in obedience to Him, and may Allah send prayers, peace, and blessings upon His servant and messenger Muhammad.

But whatever thing you spend [in His cause] - He will compensate it; and He is the best of providers."
وَمَا أَنْفَقْتُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَهُوَ يُخْلِفُهُ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَThe questioner : With His knowledge, and prolong his life in obedience to Him, and may Allah send prayers, peace, and blessings upon His servant and messenger Muhammad.
