Translation:
As Salamu Aleykum,
I need if you can tell me how can we do the Baitul-Mal in a jammat, following what is ordered for us to do by our beloved Master Maulana Sheikh Nazim al Haqqani. Thank you very much.
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
You have 2 options: either make it an official registered charity and call it Baitul-mal; or you can make an unofficial, hanky-panky style one, which I dont like. Then you collect what people give, taking from the rich and giving to the poor, I.e. you take from people sadaqa, charity, whatever they give, count it and put it in a bank account and then later give from it to people in need. You can create an advisory committee of 4-5 trustworthy persons, and based on their advice give the charity out. There is nothing complicated in doing it.
