The questioner : May Allah reward you. A questioner says: There are some Islamic organizations that collect donations through limited ledgers or boxes, and they give each cooperating member a percentage of ten percent of the total donations collected by the volunteer. They consider this a reward for his effort in collecting the donations. What is the ruling on this?
The Shaykh : It appears to me that there is nothing wrong with it, meaning there is nothing wrong with giving to the one who collects donations from the donations, because this is in the interest of the one for whom the donation is given. Those who give the donations intend the interest of the one for whom the donation is given. So the one who calls out, “Give charity for such and such, give charity for such and such,” undoubtedly exerts effort in his tongue and his body. So if he is given from it, I see no harm in that because of the interest of the one for whom the donation is given. Yes.
