The Ruling on a Specified Amount for Charity if It Is Not Deducted
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: When I designated a donation for the Afghans through the media, I contacted them and gave them the account number, the bank name, the branch, the mobile number, and the full name. I specified the amount, but up to now it has not been deducted from my account. My question is: What should I do with this amount now? Is the amount mine, or do I have no right to it?
Answer:
Contact them again; perhaps they forgot, or perhaps he went and did not notice. Contact them a second time and confirm it with them. The amount does not leave your ownership until you hand it over to them. As long as the money is in your hand and you have not yet delivered it to them, it remains in your ownership. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
