Does donating to build an institution for disabled children count as an ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah)?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Assisting charitable organizations that care for the disabled is a beneficial act and a service to the weak and needy. And assisting those in charge of this project is considered (charity). If the Sadaqah will be used for construction or something permanent, then it is Sadaqah Jariyah (ongoing charity). However, if it will be spent on food or something consumable, then it is Sadaqah and not Sadaqah Jariyah.
