Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, we are carrying out a charitable project in which we have formed a charitable association to help the poor and the needy. We collect donations for them from the generous and the people of good during Ramadan, but we are working without permission from the rulers. Should we continue with this charitable project or not?
Answer:
As long as you have not been prevented, continue. As long as you have not been prevented, continue. This is a good deed. Is it a condition that the permission of the ruler is required to help the needy and the poor? No, it does not require permission. I mean, if you find someone who is hungry or thirsty, you do not go to the ruler to get permission before you give him drink or food.
