Question:
Is there a guiding word for the Muslim community in which you encourage them to spend and give charity in the path of Allah? And to support poor, needy families, to seek out those in need, and to support charitable and da'wah institutions that engage in calling to Islam and caring for the affairs of Muslims in Islamic lands, and in this month in particular.
Answer:
We advise all Muslims to give charity and to care for the poor and needy in every place, in Riyadh and outside Riyadh, in all Islamic countries, and in all Arab lands. We advise all the wealthy to care for the poor, seek them out, and console them with zakah and other means, in the Kingdom and elsewhere, in all lands, even in disbeliever lands. They should seek out poor Muslims in Europe, in America, and everywhere else, seek them out, assist them, console them, and guide them to good; because they are in need, all of them are in need. So it is obligatory for the wealthy among the Muslims to care for zakah and to deliver it to the recipients.
In every country, their poor are to be cared for and their poor are to be consoled. If there is a surplus, it is transferred to others, to other poor people. There is no harm in transferring it from one place to another due to the severity of the need; there is no harm. There is no harm in transferring it to poor students of knowledge and those who call to Allah the Exalted, for the great benefit for Allah. The point is that poor Muslims are in need of the consolation of their brothers. So we advise all the wealthy in every place, in every country, we advise the rich and wealthy among Muslims to care for their poor, with zakah and other means, and to seek out and look for that, and to seek the help of people of experience so that the zakah reaches its rightful recipients, and to those in the greatest need in Africa, in Europe, in America, and everywhere. It has come down here so that their poor are cared for, especially in the outskirts of the Kingdom, on the western coast, and in all the peripheries where there are poor people. We advise the rich to be aware of this and to be diligent in it, so that the zakah and charities reach the rightful recipients. Likewise, we advise supporting and caring for the good, charitable associations that are expected to fulfill their duty of supporting the poor and being kind to them, and being diligent in delivering good to them so that they fulfill their obligation. Yes.
