Ruling on donating Qur'ans and carpets to the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: When I go to my hometown during the vacation, I take with me some Qur'ans, and I take carpets for the mosque. Is this considered ongoing charity? Also, I hope you will speak to us often about ongoing charity, seeking the pleasure of Allah. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Yes, Qur'ans and physical books, and mosque carpets, are from ongoing charity as long as they are benefited from. Likewise, building mosques is from ongoing charity, and building schools to teach Islamic sacred law is from ongoing charity, and repairing roads for Muslims is from ongoing charity. Likewise, distributing books among people—beneficial and useful books—is from ongoing charity. And likewise, establishing legal endowments in the paths of good, such as endowing a house whose income is spent on the poor Muslims, or on the maintenance of mosques, or on distributing useful books and Qur'ans, all of it is from ongoing charity.
So charity for Allah includes charity with money, establishing beneficial legal endowments, building mosques, and all that remains beneficial for the Muslim; all of it is called ongoing charity. This is a charity that remains as long as the benefit lasts, as long as the benefit is being realized, as long as the carpet is being benefited from, as long as the book is being benefited from, as long as the Qur'an is being benefited from, as long as the mosque is being benefited from, and so on. All of it is ongoing charity, and the money spent in the path of Allah from the income of the endowment is from ongoing charity. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
