What is the ruling on designating a monthly spiritual night for Palestinian jihadists, which includes religious lessons and communal night prayers, with those absent being penalized by withholding their monthly allowance for one month, aiming to instill commitment and teach them their duties towards the Palestinian cause?

Designating a specific night each month for gathering for remembrance (dhikr) and night prayer (qiyam al-layl) is not legislated, as it makes something unlegislated appear like something legislated. However, if they gather for remembrance and night prayer occasionally, in an unpatterned manner, there is no harm in that. The important thing is that they do not adopt a specific day that recurs for their gathering. As for obligating those who fail to attend to pay money, this is not legislated.
