What is the ruling on cooperating with the Vatican-affiliated Caritas association, which claims to provide charitable aid? Is its money lawful (halal)? Are its objectives free from proselytization? And what is the Muslim's role towards it?
Evangelistic organizations, such as "Caritas," aim to turn Muslims away from their religion and connect them to distorted Christianity. This is done through sponsoring orphans, treating the sick, supporting education, and funding projects. Colonizers used the same methods by combating religious education, spreading foreign schools, and fighting the Arabic language. Therefore, dealing with these organizations or providing them with any support is forbidden, and people should be warned against them. The harm resulting from the loss of religion and values is greater than not sponsoring or educating children. A Muslim must be zealous for his religion and protect his children from this danger.
