Is it permissible to donate to Wikipedia, knowing that it: 1. Is a source of information written by people and includes information about all religions and various topics, some of which may be ugly or good? 2. May have a Jewish orientation, as it describes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel on a page that is not editable?

"Wikipedia" is a non-profit encyclopedic website that provides general information, and anyone can change its content, which makes it unreliable for many scientific institutions.

It is not permissible to donate to the website due to its content of infidel and atheistic texts, its insults to Allah Almighty, its promotion of pagan religions, its assertion that Jesus is the son of Allah, and its refusal to remove offensive images of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. A Muslim must spend his money on what benefits Islam and Muslims.
