The Ruling on Asking for Help for the Poor Person Who Is Not Noticed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This poor person who is not noticed, if he were to be patient in the face of dire necessity, he would suffer harm and might even perish?
Answer:
No, he should ask.
Q: Is it obligatory for him?
A: He has to save himself. So, if dire necessity calls for it due to the fear of perishing, it is obligatory for him. And it is obligatory for whoever knows his condition to save him and to give to him.
Q: I mean, Shaykh, if he were to say: “It is recommended for me to be patient,” would that be correct, or is it obligatory for him to ask?
A: No, if he has something that satisfies his need, otherwise it is obligatory for him to ask, in order to save himself and those under his care.
