Question:
He asks: Is it permissible to form legal committees to collect financial donations and send them to the oppressed Muslims outside the country without obtaining permission from the one in authority or the official authorities, given that the one in authority prohibits collecting these donations without permission?
Answer:
No, it is not possible that they are doing this; they must have obtained permission. We do not assume ill of them, nor do we think they obtained permission. It is not possible that they would proceed with something without the approval of the one in authority in this matter, but we do not know. Should we not accuse them?
