· 7 Jumada II 1437 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If we give sadaqah in the form of money, is it necessary to inform the people who we are giving the money to that it is sadaqah or without telling them the sadqah will be valid?

Answer

You do not need to inform them that the money is sadaqah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
