Question:
When purchasing for the Masjid or Madrassah, I use my personal buying card which attracts points. Will these points belong to me as the cardholder or the Masjid?
Answer:-
The points (which is merely a right and holds no value in Shariah) is only afforded to customers that hold a card for the relevant store. In other words, customers purchasing at the same store, but without a card, do not qualify for points. This means that the points afforded to the customer (by the store) is a right which is transferred over to the card-holder. Therefore, the points transferred to you (the card-holder) will be for your benefit and not for the Masjid /Madrasah, even though purchases were made for the benefit of the Masjid/ Madrasah, hence it may be used for your personal needs.
ALLAH TA’ALA KNOWS BEST!
