Question
The Heelah strategy adopted in some Madrasahs is as follows: An official of the Madrasah calls in a student, hands him a large amount of money with the instruction to give the money to the principal or to any other official of the Madrasah. Is this heelah process valid and permissible?
Answer
This 'heelah' is not valid nor is it permissible. The Zakaat is not discharged by this method of mockery and self-deception.
Instructing the student to hand over the money to the Madrasah is palpable deception. It is never a valid heelah process. They are only fooling themselves with the sin of self-deception.
