Is it permissible to give charity to shia muslims

[M.I.A.]

...put her in touch with Shi'a Muslims in the community.

...or a Shi'a mosque.

Not qualified to answer your question but its an idea anyway.

 

[Allah'sServant]

As a rule of thumb, obligatory Zakat can only be given to Muslims who are genuinely poor. If you are a Sunni Muslim, the Shia female will not be classed as a Muslim, so you can't give her Zakat.

However, there is nothing stopping you from giving her "normal" money or food. Also, if you have interest accrued in your bank account, then you can give her this as interest can be given to anyone regardless of their religion.

If I was in your position, I would be torn. I am not a fan of Shia at all. Look at what they are doing to innocent civilian Sunni Muslims in Syria. But it's your call at the end of the day and if she is genuinely destitute, I don't think there would be anything wrong aiding her as long as it is not obligatory Zakat.

Asalamu 3alaykom,

Brother there is so much wrong with your comment. Last I checked, the five PILLARS and foundation of Islam and being a muslim is believing in Allah SWT and His messenger, praying, fasting, zakat and hajjul bayt (to whom ever can). Shia muslims do all these things and are, therefore, muslims just like you and me. You are not the Lord of this universe to dictate and judge who is a muslim and who isn't. As for the syria comment, please understand the difference between religion and politics. Mixing the two together and sterotyping and judging has caused corruption in the middle east and hatred and separation between muslims. No wonder the prophet cried because of the future of his Ummah. Please as my brother in Islam, I am saying this for your sake and the sake of every muslim out there, we are all one. There is no seperation in Islam. May Allah guide us all to the straight path.

 

[Kamruddin]

Allah knows who created these sub sections in Muslims saying Shia, Sunni, Salafi and what other non-sense.
I read Quran a lot and I couldn't find these words anywhere, neither in Hadith.
Anyone who read Kalima by heart is a Muslim and it is a duty of a Muslim to help other Muslims.
Everyone should definitely help that poor women, whether its money or foods or basic needs after all she is a Muslim.
Help a fellow Muslim and some day that person will help you, if that person doesn't help you then Allah will help you.
