JazakAllah Khair. I read the articles from Working Towards Ehsan Newsletter, by Ahmed Shaikh, and apparently there are a lot of organizations that don't use donations as intended, have huge overheads, and are not transparent. I would like to donate Qurbani to a trustworthy organization. Does anyone recommend a trustworthy organization?

as salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa baraktuh. I do not know if you are in the USA or not, but if you are, I would recommend Islam Relief USA, as far as I know they are a legitimate and honest organization.

@@ServingOthers99 Wa Alaikum As-Salaam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh. JazakAllah Khair for your reply. I used to donate to Islamic Relief USA, but stopped since they send a lot of paper mailings, which is a waste of money, and I want to make sure my donation is going to those in need and not for advertising/marketing. If you have time to read the Working Towards Ehsan Newsletter by Ahmed Shaikh, the articles mention that IRUSA has a high overhead and other issues.

My thinking is I’m not sure how any layperson can interpret a piece of Islam in a way no Islamic scholar has and actually think there’s no way they could be wrong after so many people more knowledgeable than them have disagreed. Pure dunning Kruger.
