The Shaykh : How did you say?

The Shaykh : It is permissible. However, on the condition that he does not make it a habit, or go down to Jeddah for trade or the like. The pilgrim should remember that he is in the obedience of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and this may be once in a lifetime, or it may be repeated for some people, but it should not be that this worship is repeated as a routine matter—as they say today—so that this worship has no effect on the heart of this pilgrim, and his mind and attention are in his goods and his trade. Therefore, he needs to go out from Mina, for example, to attend to some of his commercial interests; this is what we see as permissible. As for if an incidental matter arises that has no relation to his worldly affairs, then at that time we say there is no harm in it.
