Why Religious Organizations Dependent On Donations Forever?
Thank you brother Faisal. I apologize for bringing up something that doesn’t meet guideline. I will review the guidelines carefully. Perhaps there was a hidden question in there asking what our religion says about forever donations. Is it allowed encouraged, discouraged or our religion is neutral?
In a state run according to Islamic principles, mosques are supposed to be run by the government. If governments are not doing their job, it is still a collective responsibility of the society. There is no legislation in the Sharia against an organization that perpetually runs on donations of the members of the society. However, if certain people can creatively make such organizations self sustaining then of course it is commendable and I am sure that it will be counted as a virtuous deed on their part.
