The ruling on the obligation of donating when the one in authority orders it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, when the one in authority orders the donation of money, is this order obligatory by analogy to jihad with one's person?
Answer:
No, it is not obligatory. Donation, as its name implies, is a voluntary act that returns to choice. Therefore, it is not binding. If he wishes to donate, he donates; if he does not wish to, and the Imam has not ordered it with compulsion and has not compelled them, rather he has opened the door for them and encouraged them to donate only.
