Muhammad ibn Adam al-Kawthari – Is It Permissible to Fly Business Class With Charity Money

			See, imagine that person's heart poured out because they saw an orphan
		

			dying and that money that you gave they gave you you're eating a doughnut kebab in the you know
lounge or the balcony of a five star hotel in some country. I mean how is that even justified
morally ethically, let alone Islamic key and legally, money people give you cannot be used for
adverts cannot be used for advertising cannot be used for journey travel administration cost
nothing. Zakat money especially zakat money has to be given exclusively for the poor. Don't
generalize visa vie the law because then it becomes very grossly sort of abused. And even as a card
collecting this is the mainstream opinion about the Card Collectors. Okay. Other than the card funds
		

			as well, I personally don't feel that unless we don't tell the donators the donors that look your
money could be used in administration cost, clearly tell them okay, be open about it. Tell them if
they're still happy that look okay. Yeah, I don't mind you taking up, you know, flight. But then,
you know, be careful. You know, some of the earliest calls weren't particularly they will take the
minimum, they would never go in a business class. They would never use the charity money to travel
on business class, because this is really for the poor, for the needy for the places where the money
needs to go. They will do the absolute bare minimum for the Ninth Circuit I'm talking about. So I
		

			don't think it's justified unless you tell them that look, we use your funds non zakaat for lots of
things administration costs, which includes travels and journeys, and sometimes our, you know,
members, charity members and workers days to travel on business class, some scholars, we take them
on business class, we stay in five star hotels, we do eat a lot, you know, whatever. Just be clear
and open and then see if people give a people are still happy to give you hamdulillah
