What are the best avenues for charity?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What are the best avenues for charity in the present time? Is it charity for the poor and the needy, or feeding those who are fasting, or supporting what relates to calling people to Allah, clarifying the truth, and warning against falsehood?
The Shaykh : People, especially in the central part of the Kingdom, and praise be to Allah, do not have dire necessity. If there are people in dire necessity, charity for them is better, because removing dire necessity is obligatory. In any case, every case has a specific consideration; it is difficult to give a general answer in such a matter.
The presenter : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. Welcome. Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy.
The Shaykh : Always students.
