The Small Ongoing Charity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The second question. The second question: Is there any ongoing charity other than building a mosque or digging a well? Because I cannot afford those; I mean, something small and continuous. I want the Shaykh to clarify if there is anything among the small ongoing charities. Okay, thank you. Your honor, the Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
My brother, ongoing charity is an endowment (waqf), whether it is something whose substance remains and is utilized and benefited from, or something that is benefited from while its substance remains. This is what is endowed, and it does not have a specific type. Whatever fits this description is considered ongoing charity: digging a well for people, building a mosque for people to pray in, and so on. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
