Sending donations to Muslims outside the Kingdom
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
We ask Your Eminence to clarify for us how we can send donations to needy Muslims outside the Kingdom, such as in Afghanistan and other places. Which charitable projects, whether outside or inside the Kingdom, are beneficial to them?
The Shaykh:
These days, a fund is being established to support the call to Allah and charitable projects, and information about it will be published soon, if Allah wills. As for now, the Afghan and non-Afghan [donations] are handed over to the Al-Sabai' store and the Al-Rajhi store, and they will reach, if Allah wills, the charitable organizations, both Afghan and non-Afghan. Yes.
The questioner:
Is it permissible to participate in a bank?
The Shaykh:
But a receipt is taken from them so that we can give the receipt to fill out the form for the competent authority to deliver it to its owner. Yes.
The questioner:
Dear Shaykh. Is there no news about the office in Al-Mals in Afghanistan?
The Shaykh:
They have an office, but we do not use it. Otherwise, they have a representative here and in Jeddah, but we do not use it; because a message sent via our representative or a government representative is more secure in reaching the rightful recipients. Yes.
