Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The questioner : O Shaykh, a person asks: What is the meaning of the statement of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He:?
The Shaykh : Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Ma'arij 70:24-25]: Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, praises these people who have established a known right in their wealth for the questioner and the deprived,The questioner : the one who asks, saying: Give me such and such. It was the guidance of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he did not turn away a questioner, and this is the height of generosity. Even if the questioner was wealthy and asked him, among the noble qualities of character is that you give to him. But if you give to him, then advise him and say to him: O my brother, do not ask people for anything, for a man will not stop asking people until he comes on the Day of Resurrection with not a speck of flesh on his face. And you say to him: A man asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, inform me of a deed that if I do it, Allah will love me and the people will love me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: Sunan Ibn Majah 4102Da’if (Darussalam) This is after you have given to him, this questioner.
The deprived: he is the one who has been deprived of wealth, and he is the poor. The intended meaning of the deprived is not the miser, as many of the common people understand it, because the miser has no right to be given. Rather, the intended meaning of the deprived is the one who has been deprived of wealth, and he is the poor.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The questioner : O Shaykh, a person asks: What is the meaning of the statement of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He:

لِلسَّائِلِ وَالْمَحْرُومِThe Shaykh : Allah the Exalted said:
(24) And those within whose wealth is a known right (25) For the petitioner and the deprived -
وَالَّذِينَ فِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ حَقٌّ مَعْلُومٌ * لِلسَّائِلِ وَالْمَحْرُومِBe indifferent towards this world, and Allah will love you. Be indifferent to what is in people’s hands, and they will love you.
