We put this question to Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen, may Allaah preserve him, who answered as follows:
The money should be given to the organization whose name was mentioned by the imaam from the minbar.
The imaam made a mistake in naming the charity for which he had been asked to collect donations
Question: 8860
Whilst he was on the minbar the imaam
made a mistake, and gave the name of a charitable organization other than the one which he
had agreed to collect donations for after the prayer. Donations were collected after the
prayer – to whom should the money collected be given?
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah:
