THE FIQH DEPARTMENT

In the Name of Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful.
Although every Fiqh opinion is based on evidence, often times, the scholars differ in their views. This room for differences is a mercy from Allah, and as long as there is evidence to support an opinion, then we must respect scholars' views, even if we may not always agree.
The Prophet (SAW) said:
"Whoever performs Ijtihad and errs will receive one reward. Whoever performs Ijtihad and arrives at the correct answer gets double the reward"

Giving the Zakat to the Mujahideen PDF Print E-mail
Fiqh: Islamic Jurisprudence - Zakah
Written by Abdullah ibn Abdur-Rahman Al-Jibreen   

Question: A trustworthy man says that he is able to take the Zakat and give it to a trustworthy person to give to the mujahideen. May I give him the Zakat of my wealth or is there a better place to give my Zakat? It is difficult for me as a woman to search for those people who are in need and deserving.

Response: It is correct to give the Zakat to the mujahideen as the scholars have stated, since they are fighting the disbelieving enemy. If a person knows someone that he has reason to trust, it is permissible for him to give him the Zakat to send it to the mujahideen or one may send it with a trustworthy person to them. In doing so, one has fulfilled his responsibility of paying Zakat and his reward will be from Allah.
