Another questioner brought up an urgent and important matter, saying: Providing relief to the hungry in Africa and the mujahideen in Afghanistan is obligatory upon the Muslims. As for withholding Muslims' donations and leaving them outside the mosque due to weather conditions such as rain, dust, and wind, under the pretext of collecting them or arranging their delivery, it is known that this harms every Muslim who is eager to deliver this good and sustenance quickly.
