Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. An association collects a sum of money from its members, spending half of it on good deeds and the other half for any member who falls into difficulty. What is the ruling on this association? And is it permissible to join it?
Answer:
If their intention is not investment, but rather cooperation and benefiting the poor, then there is nothing wrong with it. If they receive some profit or returns from investment, and they use it to help those in need among them or others, then this is cooperation in righteousness and piety. Yes.
