Ruling on Giving Charity to One Who Does Not Pray
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener Yusuf al-Basarah, or al-Basarah from Bahrain, says: Is it permissible to give charity to a person who does not pray?
Answer:
If he repents to Allah the Exalted, then you may give him charity if he is in need. But if he does not repent to Allah and does not pray, it is not permissible for you to give him charity. Charity is only for the poor among the Muslims, unless this disbeliever is hungry, in which case you give him charity and you are rewarded for it. Yes.
