Is it permissible to pay perpetual charity (ṣadaqa jāriya) for the filters of kidney dialysis machines that are changed every 100 dialysis sessions or every three months?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Perpetual charity ( Jariyah) is an endowment (waqf), meaning the retention of the principal and the dedication of its usufruct.
It appears that donating a filter for a dialysis machine is considered a perpetual charity, as it fulfills the reality of an endowment, and it is not a condition for an endowed item that it should not perish.
