Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. In the final section, he says in his question: What does the Shaykh (may Allah preserve him) advise me regarding the endowment? Is it religious books or shops? What is the property that its reward returns to the one who made the endowment?
Answer:
We follow what is most beneficial. If there are students of knowledge in need of books, then it is best that he makes his donation in books. And if there are poor people in need of food, drink, and clothing, then he makes his donation in that. So he follows the one in greatest need and the one with the most need, and he spends in that.
