Lillah and charity

Q: Is it permissible to give sadaqah to one's parents?

Q: My mother suggested to slaughter a goat every year as sadaqah and we do so. Can we give the price of that goat to some needy people as sadaqah? Remember that she already mentioned goat.

Q: A few month back I collected donations for my daughter's eye treatment. People kept sending money. Only one quarter of the collected amount was spent and the remaining amount is in my bank account. Is this money haraam for me?

Q: Can sadaqah be given towards the feeding scheme of a madressa to revert kids who are deserving cases and come from impoverished surroundings?

Q: What is the ruling of shariah with regards to taking pictures/videos of works of charity/welfare? Like digging a borehole, building masjids, food hampers, Qurbani, etc? Lot of Muslim organizations take pictures/videos of the charitable works done.

Q: I would like to know if clothes or any other items can be given as sadaqatul jaariyah?

Q: There is great rewards in making sadqah in the form of wells. I wanted to know if on the well it is permissible to have a dua instead of the donors name. There are wells I've contributed towards, but charities insist on a donor's name. My intention was to make Allah pleased so I requested short duas on the plaques instead. So the benefactor remembers blessings. Is this permissible?

Q: I was for Umrah in Madina and had around 15 atar bottles which I didn't like and thought of giving to someone instead of throwing them away. I found a street vendor and gave it to him. He also gave me one atar and miswak as part of gesture.

1. Is it ok to give from my side? Will I be rewarded?

2. Can I take it from him? I don't know his niyat of giving it to me, probably he mentioned this is from my side as you have given this to me.

3. Later, I gave both atar and miswak adding some money to a poor person. Is it correct?

Q: In our time, there are wealthy Muslims to take out loans from the bank for tens of millions of rands for the purpose of business, e.g. constructing an apartment block. Or taking out a mortgage for buying a home. Please advise:

(1) If the amount loaned exceeds their Zakaat asset value, does that mean these Muslims do not have to pay Zakaat, and that they are also eligible to receive Zakaat?

(2) Likewise, is it better for them to use money to pay off debts or Nafl Sadaqah/Lillah projects?

Q:

1. My mother wants to offer me her money which she says is earned by halaal means by selling her land. However, I have a doubt in my heart that the money is actually not halaal as it is charity collected from people that was supposed to be given to the poor and needy. Is taking this money from my mother permissible for me?

2. I want to start a business using this money, but because I have a doubt about it, I want to keep only the profits and pay back all of the invested amount to my mother. Will this be permissible?
