Neighbour's Rights
1963: Helping sinful
neighbours
Question:
Assalamu'alaykum
In my neighborhood there are many needy
people. My question is if they request me for
some money which alhamdulillah I have right now,
can I give it to them knowing that they will not
only use it to buy food but also drugs and
alcohol? Some of these needy people are Muslims
also.
Some people say that I should not give them
any money until I have proof that they are not
buying anything illegal or haraam. Others say
that I should keep giving them money but calmly
give them a little da'wah. May Allah most high
reward you for your answer.
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
You can buy things they need, such as food,
clothing and so on, or you can let them buy
things that are permissible, and pay the bill
for them, whilst continuing to advise them, warn
them, and call them to Islam, because your
neighbours' rights over you are great indeed.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) said: "Jibreel kept advising me of the
rights of neighbours so much that I thought he
would make them my heirs." (Agreed upon).
And Allaah is the Source of help.
