Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for one of the callers to publish his mobile number among people to collect and receive cash donations without a bank account and without the permission of the one in authority?
The Shaykh:
By Allah, I do not know if he has permission to collect donations without the permission of the one in authority. It is not permissible for him to do this. It is not permissible for him to collect donations from people except with the permission of the one in authority, because some people exploit this for theft and deception. Therefore, matters must be regulated. Do not give anything to one who does not have permission from the one in authority. Do not give a donation to one who does not have permission from the one in authority. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Is lying permissible?
The Shaykh:
The one in authority is required to give him permission, meaning the competent authority, the competent authority for granting permission, such as the Ministry of Interior. Yes.
