Question:
He says: What is the ruling on a man who goes to merchants and encourages them to give charity for one of the projects of one of the charitable organizations, and takes a percentage that sometimes reaches twenty-five percent of the charity of these wealthy people?
Answer:
This is seeking livelihood. He wants to do good, but he wants to seek livelihood in this way. This is not permissible. It is not permissible for him to take anything from it, because he intended to place it in projects, so he should not take anything for himself from it. Yes.
