Some conditions for permitting the establishment of charitable associations.

The Shaykh : The summary is this: As long as there is no Bayt al-Mal (Treasury of the Muslims) according to the system known since ancient times, these charitable associations have been established. Is it permissible for any employee in them to take for himself, on his own, from those funds collected in the name of alms to be distributed to the poor and needy? I say more than what might appear from my words: my point was that it is not permissible for him to take it on the basis that he is one of the workers. I say more than that: it is not permissible for him to take it even if he is poor or needy, because here a door opens for him to indulge his desires. Look, how much would he take? Would he be satisfied with ten, twenty, fifty, or a hundred? Who would hold him accountable? Who would monitor him?
Therefore, every association must have a responsible president. This responsible president is assumed to possess, and it is required of him, what I mentioned earlier: he does not appoint himself. Rather, a body of people of goodness, virtue, knowledge, righteousness, and piety gathers and chooses the most suitable among them to be the president of the charitable association. Then, if this president is poor, they must give him a salary; it is necessary. But if he is not poor, if he is self-sufficient, or if he is better off than that, if he is wealthy, and they all agree to give him a salary, it may be that performing the duty of managing this association prevents him from performing another job from which he earns his livelihood and sustenance. It is permissible for a Muslim, even if he is wealthy, to continue working and earning so that he can do good with the money he earns, as we indicated by the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab when 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
So I say here, the point is: 'Umar said: In a narration, meaning, if you are not in need, you are abundant in wealth, and extra money comes to you, give it in charity, and the reward of charity will be recorded for you. So this president is chosen, as we said, with the aforementioned qualities. And if they give him a salary, we advise him not to accept it, even though it is not forbidden, as long as it is by a consultative council of people of virtue, righteousness, and piety. Then he, in turn, chooses those he sees as suitable to manage this charitable association. Then the matter of employment returns to him: whether to give a salary or not. He may choose, for example, wealthy people who are not in need of money. They are poor in another sense: they are wealthy in terms of money, but poor in terms of spiritual and heart wealth, righteous deeds, and the like. He wants to do a righteous deed, and this deed is undoubtedly among the righteous deeds, such as being a treasurer, as they say today, who is responsible for distributing the funds he is ordered to distribute by the responsible person with trust and truth for the sake of Allah, as we said earlier. The president may choose one, two, three, or more individuals of this type. Is it permissible for such a person to then say, "I am not like so-and-so"? No, because you entered to work for the sake of Allah the Exalted and Glorious, and you were satisfied with that, let alone that he should take for himself something from the salary. In summary, charitable associations today are in place of the employees whom the Islamic state used to employ on its behalf. Therefore, the president of the association should be like the head of a state, a mini-state. He should be a knowledgeable, juristic, righteous, pious person with firmness and will, and the like of what scholars and jurists require of higher rulers, i.e., the Caliph. Today, unfortunately, there is no Caliph. So this is a mini-substitute for him. The matter should be organized by establishing a consultative council. This council, like any company or any group, must gather; a responsible president is necessary, otherwise chaos will take root in this charitable work. This is all I have in answer to this question. Do you have anything else?
