Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some of my friends disputed before me and gave me money; they all disclaimed ownership of this money. They told me to give it in charity, and I am confused about whom I should intend it for when I give it in charity. Give it in charity as they said.
Answer:
It is for you, and the intention is for them. It is not yours; you are merely the executor, and the intention returns to them. Yes.
