I have a sum of money. Is it better to start a project for feeding those who are breaking their fast, or to give the money as charity?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes, please. Peace be upon you. You are with me, Shaykh. Please raise your voice. Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace. Good, fine. Welcome.
The questioner : The best, may Allah do you good, is that if a person has money he wants to spend, he has two choices: either he makes it a project for feeding those who are breaking their fast, or the other choice is that he donates it. What is it called?
The Shaykh : There is a comment. Feeding, feeding, not with positives regarding fasting.
The questioner : Contemporary.
The Shaykh : And he feeds on behalf of the fasting.
The questioner : No, no, no, no. He wants only charity, meaning a voluntary act.
The Shaykh : Voluntary. It appears to me that the money is better.
The questioner : He gives charity. It comes to him.
The Shaykh : Money.
The questioner : We plant it and benefit from it.
The Shaykh : It is better than food.
The questioner : I understand food. May Allah do you good, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : All right.
The presenter : Thank you.
