Is it better to give charity by feeding people or by giving money?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace.
The questioner : Good morning.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The questioner : The best thing for a person who has money he wants to spend is that he has two choices: either he makes it a project to feed fasting people here, or the other choice is that he donates it.
The Shaykh : Yes, with that food, not with what is given to make up for missed fasts.
The questioner : Contemporary.
The Shaykh : And he wants to feed people to make up for the fasts.
The questioner : No, no, no, no. He wants only charity, meaning a voluntary act.
The Shaykh : Voluntary. It appears to me that the money is better.
The questioner : He gives charity.
The Shaykh : Meat.
The questioner : The cost of the meat.
The Shaykh : It is easier than food.
The questioner : I understand food. May Allah reward you, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : All right.
The presenter : Thank you.
