Question:
The second question, O Sa'd. All right, Shaykh, regarding Ramadan, I mean, I work and my wife works. Is it obligatory for me and my wife to pool our funds? I mean, she puts in an amount and I put in an amount, and we buy water and dates to distribute to the fasting people. I mean, anyone, whether they are workers, foreigners, or laborers, we give it to them as an obligation to break their fast.
Answer:
Yes, that is good. You are cooperating in righteousness and piety. You set aside an amount from your money, and she sets aside an amount from her money, and you buy food or something similar with it and distribute it to the poor in Ramadan or outside of Ramadan. The door is open for righteousness for you and for her, praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
