Faith IQ – Can I Give My Zakat To Islamic Organizations

			Can I give my zip code to the Dow and Islamic organizations?
		

			Well, yeah, there is one that you can give it to is called the willow au fund and we take donations
and Mashallah, everything that makes you happy, that's fine. Now let's be serious. As I lost pounds,
Allah has specified for very, very specific groups, mostly the poor, but not exclusively. And a last
resort October says, in the midst of the alternate football on a second and weapon in Civil War free
civilian law, Allah does actually mentioned eight specific categories, different types, different
jobs, and one of them is and those in the path of Allah and write the vast majority of scholars,
this is always referring to those who are the Mujahideen who are in the time of war, needing
		

			support, etc. However, some scholars a small minority, they try to interpret this feasibility in the
path of alliances super general sense. And they basically said, well, because there are some early
narrations that refer to feasterville, as the Hodge, acceptably according to a mathematic and a few
others, that for the women, of course, Hajj is a Jihad as you know, then they kind of extrapolated
from that that may be today, it doesn't just mean Jihad any can mean then other good ventures, and
feasterville is Tao when you call them to Allah Fie civilian, and so on and so forth, and then
extended from dalla to charities, and then from charities to, you know, any kind of public services
		

			and all kinds of, or civic engagement group, whatever. And this is nonsense. To be honest, I'm very,
very strict on this myself, I'm with the majority. And I have my own opinion on this as well, it is
not permissible to give it to Tao organizations, not to say thank you, not to Automarketer not to
me, not to any charity, not to any dollar organization, other than what it should be given to the
seven to eight categories that are mentioned and I in hand to hand as best as possible in a cash
form, and to empower them directly. Listen, it's it's a shame, I'm starting to see that our
community is starting to become quite stingy. When it comes to general charity, which is trying to
		

			write off everything that we give as far as if like, Listen, I've given 2.5%, that's enough. And the
believer really, they have set up to show that they go above and beyond the obligatory 2.5%, we have
to not say, Well, I'm not going to support a project unless my Zakat goes towards it knows the kind
of goes towards the people who deserve it, as well as given an array. And then the rest of the
things that we need to support all those great projects that help people in all different kinds of
way doesn't have to be charities per se, but those people who are helping others with great ideas
and education and public services, whatever will support the ourselves real test real short of our
		

			wealth, a real kind of commitment from us outside of our azekah our basic sadaqa General knuffel
sadaqa. So please do not give us a cut to these organizations only today categories in the eye
