Collecting funds whose owners wish to make them ongoing charity

Fatwa No. ( 15591 )
Q: This year, three types of donations came to us at the Charitable Group for Memorizing the Noble Qur'an in al-Ta'if : (zakah, donations, and ongoing charity). As for the zakah, it was spent on its proper purpose for the poor among the group's members. We usually spend the donations as salaries for the employees and memorization teachers, and as prizes for the students. However, the issue for us is what is called: ongoing charity. Some people send one hundred riyals and say it is ongoing charity, and we have collected it until it has now become a considerable amount , and we are
holding it until we know your opinion on how to spend it
A : The aid that comes to you in the name of ongoing charity should be combined and spent on purchasing fixed real estate, the income from which is spent for the benefit of the group. There is no objection to using it to repair existing properties that are endowed for the benefit of the group. We ask Allah for success and assistance for us and for you in all good. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
