KUALA LUMPUR, April 30 — The Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) will investigate allegations that three Muslim single mothers had to seek financial assistance from the church after their aid application was rejected by the zakat or related agencies.
Its minister Datuk Seri Zulkifli Mohamad said he would definitely have offered assistance to the individuals had he known about the matter.
He said this to reporters after officiating the Semarak Lailatul Qadar and Get Together Programme with principals of tahfiz and pondok schools in the Federal Territories at Maahad Tahfiz Al Faridiyah in Taman Sri Rampai, here today.
Also present was Federal Territories Islamic Religious Department (Jawi) director Datuk Mohd Ajib Ismail.
Yesterday, a news portal reported that three single mothers had been seeking help from the church over the past few years after the zakat institutions and related agencies rejected their aid application.
On the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) related to Haj and Umrah, Zulkifli said Saudi Arabia has yet to decide whether the annual pilgrimage would be allowed for this year.
“Let us all pray to Allah for this pandemic to be over,” he said.
At the event, 41 tahfiz and pondok schools registered with Jawi received donations in the form of basic food items such as rice, flour, sugar and cooking oil. — Bernama

kt notes:
Don't blame Christians or the Christian church. T'was ONLY after the zakat institutions and related agencies rejected the three single mothers applications, that the church started giving out aid to the mums.
The zakat institutions have been a disgrace to Muslims. You have forfeited your Islamic rights to looking after the 3 Muslim mums' welfare.
Zakat can count as income tax some more, but donoe who gasak, but donate to church or temple count as deduction from taxable income only. No wonder Toonsie say Chinese pay most of the taxes.
ReplyDeleteHmm...there is a lot of on-line screaming over this matter, about the dangers of Evil Christian Proselytization.
ReplyDeleteCan't say it's completely baseless...
Christian Charity ( for that matter most other charities) usually comes with some form of overt or covert propaganda.......
