The imaam made a mistake in naming the charity for which he had been asked to collect donations
Question: 8860
Whilst he was on the minbar the imaam
made a mistake, and gave the name of a charitable organization other than the one which he
had agreed to collect donations for after the prayer. Donations were collected after the
prayer – to whom should the money collected be given?
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
We put this question to Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih
al-‘Uthaymeen, may Allaah preserve him, who answered as follows:
The money should be given to the organization whose name was mentioned
by the imaam from the minbar.
