The Details of the Question
We live in Germany. We put the clothes that we do not wear and use in boxes for charity. They are collected by an organization. Are they regarded as sadaqah? Or, should we give them to others? Submitted by on Thu, 16/11/2017 - 14:51
The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
Sadaqah can be given to non-Muslims. The charity you have mentioned is regarded as sadaqah.
However, it is more appropriate for that kind of charity to be done by the organizations of Muslims.
Thus, it will cause the hearts of the non-Muslims who will receive the help to be reconciled with Islam.
