Taking assistance from churches

· 22 Shawwal 1434 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I have a disabled 5 year old son who needs to be watched 24/7. I cannot work and muslim organizations can't help me. Can I go to a church for help as some non Muslims are more sympathetic towards disabled children?

Answer

We advise you not to go to the church for assistance, instead contact the Islamic Welfare organisations e.g. Jamiat, Darul Ihsan, etc and inform them of your plight.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
