scholarly difference
Recognised scholars differ on scope of fi sabilillah, and this campaign sits inside that difference. This campaign raises money for general public-benefit purposes such as clean water access, health, and support for classroom learning rather than for armed struggle or unmet Hajj costs. A Hanafi fatwa by Shaykh Sohail Hanif restricts the category to those fighting in the way of Allah and those unable to complete Hajj, the recipient still needing to be legally poor, and characterises the broad modern reading as aberrant. AMJA adopts the widest surveyed position, covering da'wah, defence of the religion, and the overhead of delivering it. Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi takes a middle position: extra charity is better for building work, but zakat for mosques and schools is not forbidden, especially in non-Muslim countries. Two AMJA fatwas twelve years apart reach opposite conclusions on mosques. Which of those positions does platform policy apply to this campaign?
The story describes children in need of clean water without stating any household's income, assets, or ability to meet basic needs.
Missing: The story does not state the financial circumstances of the children's households, such as their income or assets.
Ask the organizer: Could you share what you know about the financial circumstances of the children's households, such as their income or assets?
The story references children in need of clean water but gives no detail on household size, absence of income, or specific unmet basic needs beyond water access.
Missing: The story does not state whether the children's households lack income or cannot cover other basic needs such as food or shelter.
Ask the organizer: Could you tell us whether the children's households have any income, and whether they are able to cover other basic needs like food or shelter?
The story describes a campaign that will deliver water provision and classroom sponsorship to children but does not say what share, if any, of the donations covers the organization's own costs of delivering that work.
Missing: The story does not state what portion of the funds raised, if any, covers the organization's administrative or delivery costs.
Ask the organizer: Could you tell us what portion, if any, of the funds raised will go toward covering your organization's own costs of running this campaign?
The story does not mention religious conversion, convert support, or the faith or affiliation of the beneficiaries.
The story does not mention captivity, bondage, trafficking, bail, or unjust detention.
The story does not mention any debt, creditor, amount owed, or repayment obligation.
The story presents the campaign as providing clean water, supporting learning, and sponsoring a classroom, framing these as general public-benefit purposes, but it does not say whether the water reaches individuals or an institution, nor whether any water infrastructure is built and who would own it afterward.
Missing: The story does not state whether the project builds a water asset that becomes communally owned or provides water directly to individual children, nor who would own any resulting facility.
Ask the organizer: Could you tell us whether this project builds any water facility or infrastructure that remains in place afterward, and if so, who would own or control it?

Previously adjudicated campaigns, closest first. Every one of them is synthetic and written for this repository. They are here for you to compare against and they decide nothing: the decision on this campaign is yours to record.
Cedar Rise Welfare Trust has sponsored children who lost a parent in two rural districts since 2019, and this appeal covers the coming school year for forty of them. Sponsorship pays school fees, a uniform, books and a monthly food allowance paid to the guardian. Our field team visits every household twice a year and...
Information requested. The programme itself is not the problem; the household evidence is good and the field reports are public. The copy says a portion of each donation supports operations and does not say what the portion is, and our policy requires the deduction to be stated on the campaign page before a badge is issued. I asked for the figure and for confirmation of whether the trust that raises the money is also the trust that distributes it. Published positions on how much overhead may be charged range from nothing at all to a fifth among bodies that all consider themselves within the rules, which is exactly why we publish the number and let the donor weigh it instead of assessing it here.
The nearest working water point is an hour's walk each way and it runs dry from March. Forty households in Karaba share it, and the walk falls on the girls in the family, which is why half of them stop attending school in the dry season. We are raising 14,000 USD for a borehole, a hand pump and a concrete apron,...
Approved under fi sabilillah, and this one went to our advisor before I recorded anything. Two questions were live and they are not the same question: whether a shared water point falls inside that heading under our policy, and who owns the asset once it is finished, which is where recognised positions genuinely differ on a project campaign. I asked the organizer and was told the completed water point passes to an elected village committee, and the committee's constitution was sent through. That answer decided the route rather than the outcome. Our policy requires funds under the poor and needy headings to reach an individual as cash or goods, and an asset held by a committee does not do that, so I have left those two lines unresolved instead of recording support I cannot evidence; what would resolve them is a mechanism vesting ownership in named individuals, which this campaign does not have and was not asked to invent. The forty households were separately evidenced as below the threshold our policy uses, which is context for the reading I applied and not a basis of its own, since nothing reaches them as cash or goods. Our policy does verify water supply for a poor community under the contemporary reading of fi sabilillah, and the scoped question I put to the advisor was whether a project of this shape falls inside it with ownership documented as it is. The answer was that it does, and that is the basis on the file. I am not recording a view on the wider disagreement about ownership transfer, so the next reviewer sees the route I took and the reason for it rather than a conclusion I did not reach.
The Anwar family left their village in the last week of August when the water reached the roof of their house. They are now in a school hall two provinces away with what they carried. Their land and their stored rice are under water and they cannot reach either, and the bus fare back plus three months of rented rooms...
Approved. This is the shape our policy describes under the wayfarer heading: people away from home and cut off from assets they own but cannot reach, which is a different thing from owning nothing at all, and the copy is explicit about it. Registration papers were supplied and checked. I noted for the file that applying this category to displaced people is a reading our policy already takes and that our advisor signed off on this pattern of campaign last year, so I recorded the decision against that standing position rather than opening it again. Their land is not evidence against need here; it is precisely what they cannot reach. Worth saying plainly for the next reviewer: some platforms decline to verify traveller cases at all, on the practical ground that a genuinely stranded person is unlikely to be running a campaign. That is a workable position and it is not ours. We verify them where the displacement is documented, which is our board's choice about operating risk rather than anything scholars are divided on, and a reviewer who finds the documentation thin should say so rather than lean on the category being permitted.
Most people who take shahadah at our centre never come back after the second month. Some are not on speaking terms with their families, some have moved out with a bag, and almost none of them know anyone. We are raising 25,000 GBP for a two-year support fund: a mentor for the first year, weekly classes, a shared meal...
Information requested, after I put it to our advisor. Whether this category still operates at all is genuinely disputed between contemporary bodies, and one of them moved on it as recently as this year, so our policy does not let a badge rest on that question by itself. The question I put to the advisor was about our own policy rather than about the underlying difference, and the answer was to look for an independent basis in the campaign. So I have asked the organizer what share of the fund is emergency grants going to individuals, and whether those recipients are in material need at the point they receive it, since that would put part of this campaign somewhere I can assess on evidence. None of this is a finding against the organizer or against the category, and I said so in the message, because a request that reads as a soft refusal will not get me the facts I need.
No decision has been recorded, so this campaign has no outcome. Nothing above is one.
