Question:
Is it permitted to giveto the needy directly?
Answer:
Assalamu alaikum,
In the Name of Allah, MostMerciful and Compassionate
May His blessings and peace be on His Beloved Prophet, the best of
creation, and his family, companions, and followers
It is actually better to giveto the needy directly�as it is closer to
awakening concern for them and realization for the blessings Allah has
bestowed upon one. These are two of the central goals of giving in
charity, as the scholars explain.
And Allah alone gives success.
