If I receive charity funds designated for specific people, is it permissible for me to distribute them to others?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : All right, Shaykh, in the context of donations, if I receive specific funds designated for certain people, for example, in one Islamic country, and I have people in another country who are people of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), is it permissible for me to transfer this money to that other path?
The Shaykh : Do you mean by the first part of your question that this money was given to be distributed to specific people?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So you want to give it to other people?
The questioner : Yes, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : No, it is not permissible, unless you believe that distributing this money to the specified individuals involves sin. That is clear... it is permissible, but I do not think that is your question.
The questioner : Shaykh, the first group, for example, do not pray, Shaykh, they do not establish prayer, and they have no connection to Islam except, for example, they only recite the testimony, saying "I am a Muslim by card," like our brothers in Bosnia and Herzegovina?
The Shaykh : Like our brothers.
The questioner : In Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Shaykh : Herzegovina, ah.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The questioner : There are people in other countries who are people of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), but people are currently donating to Herzegovina, meaning they are giving a lot to them, whereas our other brothers in other Arab countries and other Islamic countries, who are people of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), do not receive this donation. So I want, for example, to take a portion of this donation and give it to these people.
The Shaykh : If you were told to distribute this money to some disbelievers to win their hearts, what would you do?
The questioner : I would distribute it.
The Shaykh : Would you not distribute it to other Muslims?
The questioner : By Allah, this is the question, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Hehehe, I have not given you the answer, may Allah guide you, hehehe hehehe. You, using the Syrian expression, you are two people greeting each other, hehehe.
The questioner : Heh.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good, this is our friend, he knows that he isThe Shaykh : an old man.
The questioner : Allah is the Helper.
The Shaykh : An old man.
The questioner : May Allah bless your age.
