Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If, for example, a person has no source of income, such as a student of knowledge or the like, and he has some money and knows that if he spends this money, he will not be able to obtain any other money unless someone gives it to him, or rather...?
The Shaykh : We have referred to this. What did we say? Start with yourself, then with those you are responsible for. Yes, we referred to this.
The questioner : And he does not give charity?
The Shaykh : If he gives charity, he should give something that does not harm him, as long as he knows that if he gives away all his money, he will be left with empty hands and will need people, or need to leave the pursuit of knowledge to work. In this case, he should not spend except for something that does not harm him.
