Question
Here in the U.S.A. the Imaam and trustees of the Musjid has organized a fund-raising effort to collect funds to send some young huffaaz for Umrah so that they may make dua for the donors. Is this valid and permissible?
Answer
This Imaam and the trustees are indeed morons and perhaps worse. They may be robbers as well. It is not permissible to contribute to the 'Umrah' fund organized by these moron Musjid trustees. These people are astray. Their brains are corrupt with the dunya. Millions of Muslims are suffering all over the world. Look what is happening in Palestine, Sudan, Somalia, etc. But these juhala are raising funds for merrymaking mock 'umrah' excursions. Their fund-raising is haraam. They are squandering the people's money for merrymaking trips. They should shame themselves. Never contribute to such evil funds. The Imaam is another jaahil. He uses the Deen for his despicable monetary lust. Do not contribute to his fund.
