Q 1: We wish to inform you that in
Jeddah
there are schools for memorizing the Qur'an and teaching the Sunnah. These schools are charitable and not profitable organizations and are under the administrative supervision of the organization founded by the mother of Prince
Thamir ibn `Abdul-`Aziz
(Part No. 8; Page No. 302) May Allah be Merciful to them all. The activities of these schools are monitored by Shaykh
`Abdul-`Aziz ibn `Abdul-Khaliq ibn `Abdullah Al-Himdan,
the General Supervisor, and under him is Shaykh
Husayn ibn Saqr.
After Allah's grace, success and continuation of these schools depend on the contributions of the donors. Are the buildings granted to the school regarded as Sadaqah Jariyah (ongoing charity)?
A1:
Yes,
buildings granted to schools of Qur'an memorization or to be used as orphanages and the like are considered Sadaqah Jariyah.
