Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Spending on pilgrims... such as providing food and other needs... is it considered in the cause of Allah...?
Answer:
In the cause of Allah, meaning in obedience to Allah, includes what is like jihad. Some scholars said: Hajj is in the cause of Allah; because it is narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that a man from the Ansar bequeathed a camel in the cause of Allah, and he said to his wife: Perform Hajj with it, for Hajj is in the cause of Allah. Great good is hoped for it.
Q: Does providing them with some beneficial booklets or tapes also fall under this? May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh: Yes; good is hoped for it; because it is from the category of conveying, from the category of delivering the message. The tape, the sermon, and the correspondence are all conveying.
