Helping Muslims in Ghaza by Qunoot

Helping Muslims in Ghaza by Qunoot

(IslamWeb) Fatwa no. 87756

Allaah Says (what means): {Who is he that will lend to Allaah a goodly loan so that He may multiply it to him many times?…}[Quran 2:245]. Allaah also Says (what means): {O you who believe! Spend of what We have provided for you, before a Day comes when there will be no bargaining, nor friendship, nor intercession…..}[Quran 2:254]. Allaah further Says (what means): {…Believe in Allaah and His Messenger (Muhammad), and spend of that whereof He has made you trustees….}[Quran 57:7].

There are many Ahadeeth and verses on this subject. You can also pray for them that Allah may relieve their agony and sorrow, and save them from the condition they are in and grant them victory.

There is no harm for you to pray for them daily in Qunoot. Imaam Ahmad, may Allaah have mercy upon him, reported in the Musnad and Abu Dawud, may Allaah have mercy upon him, in the Sunan from Ibn Abbaas, may Allaah be pleased with him: "The Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, made Du'a Qunoot for a complete month in Thuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Ishaa and Fajr prayers, at the end of every prayer while standing up from Rukoo' at the last Rak'ah saying "Sami' Allaahu Limen Hamidah," then he would make a Du'a on the enemy, on the people of Bani Sulaym, Re'il, Thukwaan and Usayyah, and the people praying behind him would say "Ameen".

Allaah Knows best.

Question:

What is the best way to help the brothers and sisters in Ghaza? Do we have to recite qunoot in a daily prayer which is I heard a hadith that companions of prophet used to do qunoot in their five times prayer?

Fatwa:

A Muslim can help his suffering brothers – like the case of the people of Ghaza with money, medicine, clothes and so on. Allaah urged the believers to spend in good causes.
