What is the ruling on preparing dishes for donations?

Question : The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is your opinion on the idea of setting up a charity dish? This is held in schools or Qur'an centers, where some women, or whoever is able, prepare one or more dishes of food, which are then sold in the school, and the proceeds are given as charity to charitable projects or to the mujahideen. Do you advise us to do this or not?

Answer : This work is good, but it requires consulting the officials in the school and the education departments to see if they permit it or not. I fear that if a dish containing meat is prepared and the young people eat it, they may suffer from indigestion, which would be harmful. So these matters must be observed.
