Are not the questions sent by petitioners to scholars and disseminated through social media considered ongoing charities for which the petitioners are rewarded?
Knowledge is one of the best acts of worship, and a Muslim is rewarded for acquiring it, acting upon it, teaching it, and for others benefiting from it. If a questioner asks a question with the intention that others may benefit from the answer, then he is rewarded for his question and his endeavor in spreading knowledge. A student of knowledge must have four intentions before embarking on seeking knowledge: to move from misguidance to guidance, to benefit the servants of Allah, to revive and disseminate sciences, and to act upon what he learns.
