Re: Paying for wedding expenses as charity
did it say help for "Lavish weddings for orphans" or just weddings? Even if you have to have 15 people gathered at mosque for a wedding, you need some resources.
Yes money would be better spend on education of orphans but if orphan is a 25 year old girl, who has no where to go to and with our current messed up norms of the society, she can not marry unless she has some money, would u leave her alone?
I was shopping in Birmingham not too long ago, and next to the tills they usually have a change pot for various causes, there's usually islamic relief, children in need and other charitable causes.
One cause however really made me confused. "Weddings of orphans" it was quite specific that the money raised will be spent on wedding expenses of orphans.
Am I the only one thinking this doesn't really class as a "charitable cause" I think charitable causes should be for necessity rather than luxury, and I don't think a wedding is at all a necessity.
Surely that money would be better spent housing and educating orphans rather than on a bit of a bash for them and their mates?
