Is the money of the association in which a man participated with the intention of marrying a woman, and which was organized by the woman, considered permissible or impermissible before the official completion of the marriage?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the association is an agreement between individuals to pay a monthly sum to one of them in rotation, then it is permissible. Striving to collect lawful money for marriage is praiseworthy.

However, if it is a charitable association for marrying off those in need, there is no impediment to seeking assistance if you are in need and cannot afford the costs of marriage, provided there is no lying or deception. It is not permissible to defraud to obtain assistance by violating the association's conditions.
