IT IS NOT PERMISSIBLE TO GIVE LILLAH OR (MORE ESPECIALLY) ZAKAAT TO ORGANISATIONS SUCH AS ‘ASHRAFUL AID’

In its recent immoral fund-raiser, the organization called “Ashraful Aid” is appealing for Lillah and Zakaat (Nauthubillah) funds to buy sanitary pads for napaak kuffaar girls.

Right at the outset, let us be clear that there is no sin in gifting charity to non-Muslims for permissible uses. However, this organisation that projects the façade of being Muslim is appealing to Muslims to donate their Lillah and Zakaat monies for this ignoble cause.

The very term Lillah means “for Allah Ta`ala”. So, when a Muslim gives Lillah, he/she is giving for the pleasure of Allah Ta`ala to some worthy cause. Would any sane Muslim regard a celebration of the stupid so-called “women’s  month” an Islamically valid cause that invites the Mercy or Pleasure of Allah Ta`ala? Would any rational Muslim donate Lillah to “empower” women to be able to go to school whilst they are in a state of filth? Would any intelligent Muslim parent even allow their chaste daughter to attend these dens of spiritual and immoral filth and degradation?

The hurmat (total impermissibility) of sending Muslim girls to secular (and so-called ‘Muslim’) schools is a topic for another discussion. Nevertheless, this fund-raiser of the deviant Ashraful Aid miscreants is directed at aiding and abetting non-Muslims and prostitutes.

The Hadith of our Beloved Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) is clear:

أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ اسْتَعْطَرَتْ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَتْ لِيُوجَدَ رِيحُهَا، فَهِيَ زَانِيَةٌ، وَكُلُّ عَيْنٍ زَانِيَةٌ

Any woman that applies perfume and then she emerges (from her home) such that others get a scent of her perfume, she is an adulteress and every eye that beholds her is an adulterer. [Sunan Daarmi]

Notwithstanding this narration and all other such Ahaadith that clearly prohibit the emergence of women from their homes, these deviant Ashraful Aid cronies have the gall to solicit Lillah and Zakaat (Nauthubillah) for handing out bags that contain pads and deodorant, so the napaak girls may continue to attend school. The evil and depravity of this organisation knows no bounds. So, in effect, this Ashraful Aid – pathetic excuses for humans – are soliciting Lillah and Zakaat funds in order to promote and perpetuate immorality and prostitution! This begs the question: Was there ever any Imaan in their hearts to begin with??

To add insult to injury, the decrepit morons at Ashraful Aid regard this as a “Noble Cause”. Shaitaan has most certainly urinated in their brains.

On the appeal sent out by email and also on their website, this evil organisation does not specify whether donors should give Lillah or Zakaat. They simply advertise the bank account numbers of the two accounts – Lillah and Zakaat. How do they distribute such Zakaat funds? Is Zakaat going to used to buy pads and deodorant to “empower women” so that napaak disbelieving girls may continue attending school?

Firstly, is Zakaat given to such organisations ever distributed among worthy Muslim recipients? Secondly, is the purpose of Zakaat to allow filthy immoral girls to deodorise themselves and attend schools?

At this juncture we would like to sound a warning to ALL Muslims: IT IS HARAAM TO GIVE ZAKAAT FUNDS TO ASHRAFUL AID AND ALL OTHER SUCH ORGANIZATIONS. If you have given them Zakaat in the past to distribute on your behalf, then you would have to dispense that Zakaat again, because in all likelihood, your Zakaat was abused and never given to worthy Muslim recipients.

Regarding the Aayat in the Qur`aan Majeed, where Allah Ta`ala states:

وَمَا الْحَیٰوۃُ الدُّنْیَاۤ اِلَّا مَتَاعُ الْغُرُوۡرِ

The life of this world is merely an enjoyment of deception

Some Ulama have suggested the following interpretation: A person wishing to understand the terminology used in the Ayat ventured to the remote tribes living in the Arab desert. He wanted to understand the colloquial usage of the words. At a certain village he came across the following usage of the words متاع and غرور. When the time for haidh (menstruation) came, the common phrases used would be:

جَاءَ المتاعُ , جِئتَ بِالغرورِ

Haidh (menstruation) came (and) you brought the rags (used during haidh as pads).”

This implies that in the colloquial usage of some Arab tribes, the Ayat compares the life of this world to soiled menstrual pads. How apt and befitting to this Ashraful Aid fund-raiser.

Molvis and laymen who run such organizations as Ashraful Aid, have nothing better to do with their time and Muslim’s money than cater for menstrual pads of none other than prostitutes and najis non-Muslims. May Allah Ta`ala have mercy on this Ummah!

 

May Allah Ta`ala guide this Ummah.
