Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some benefactors give me money to distribute among my relatives. Is it obligatory for me to tell them that it is from a benefactor, or do I give it to them without specifying? He says: Is it from me or from someone else?
Answer:
If they are in need, give it to them and do not tell them. Give it to them whether it is from you or from someone else, and do not inform them of that. Yes.
