The Kingdom is a pioneer in doing good
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Peace.
The presenter:
They mention you in your absence. May Allah reward you with good, please proceed with your question.
The Shaykh:
Allahu Akbar, yes.
The questioner:
In these days, there is a lot of talk on internet sites about the restriction of charitable work in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which causes a kind of excitement and confusion among the general public, may you have a long life. So what is your guidance, Honorable Shaykh, on this matter? Thank you.
The Shaykh:
The answer to the first question: your statement that some people restrict acts of good and charity to the Kingdom is incorrect. The Muslims, praise be to Allah, have good in them wherever they are, but the Kingdom is thanked for what it does in assisting the needy Muslims in any place. This does not mean that doing good is confined to Saudi Arabia, but Saudi Arabia is a pioneer in this matter by the grace of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, and then by the care of its rulers. Yes.
