Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding giving it to Abu Jahm, even though it occupied him?
Answer:
This indicates that the matter is broad in this regard, and that he (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked wearing it; because his affair is more important than the affair of so-and-so, and it does not indicate prohibition... However, a person is commanded to be mindful of Allah regarding this thing that occupies him.
