Sultan of Sokoto Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar
has asked beggars in the society not to
compound their problems by marrying
many wives.
Abubakar said that it was wrong for
people who had problems they cannot
solve to add more burden on themselves
by marrying many wives.
He spoke in Sokoto Friday during the
inauguration of district-level committees
of the State Zakkat and Endowment.
The Sultan spoke as the state Governor,
Aliyu Wamakko said that begging was
anti-Islamic and should be discouraged.
”The act of begging is not allowed in
Islam and this is tarnishing the image of
the religion,” Wamakko said.
However, Sultan Abubakar challenged
Islamic preachers in the country to
continue to preach to people on the
prohibition of begging by Islam.
Wondering why begging was still
prevalent in the state in spite of the
N6,500 monthly allowance paid to 6,739
physically challenged persons by the
state government, the Sultan advised
them not to over burden themselves as it
was difficult to sustain them.
”We should always live our lives
according to the dictates of the Islamic
religion. No Muslim is supposed to go to
bed with an empty stomach with Zakkat
and endowment institution.
“We should assist all Nigerians
irrespective of religion or ethnicity. We
should always be our brother’s keeper,”
the Sultan said, adding however, that
other indigent Nigerians, irrespective of
their religion, must also be assisted.
