Disposing of funds allocated to a voluntary organization that has ceased operations
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: We are members of a social voluntary organization with a group of brothers. I received seven thousand riyals from the ministry as support for that organization, but the members of the organization disagreed, and its work stopped. What should I do with the money? Should I spend it on acts of charity, or should I place it in the account of the Muslim community’s funds (Bayt al-Mal)?
Answer:
It is permissible to do either. If you place it in an account to clear your liability, you return it to the state. If you wish, you may spend it on work similar to that of the dissolved association, for all acts of charity are permissible, if Allah wills.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
