Donating to houses of knowledge to support their projects as voluntary charity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: Colleges, including the College of Teachers in Abha , hold courses for school principals and those in similar positions, such as institute directors, for a full academic term. Previously, the brothers among the principals in earlier courses donated to the college in the form of in-kind or monetary gifts, to be used where the college has a need for the public interest, at the request of the principals. The colleagues in the current course wish to donate to the college, at their own request, to contribute to what it needs in terms of supplies or maintenance , knowing that
the Ministry of Education, like others, has previously accepted donations from some business men to build a school in the city of Unaizah , as was published in the local newspapers at the time. The question is: Please kindly answer regarding the permissibility of collecting funds from the colleagues in the course for the college? And to your permissiveness, from all of us, sincere affection and respect.
A: There is no harm in donating to this college for its noble projects, provided that it is not from zakah. Your doing this is a form of cooperation in righteousness and piety.
