Question

give in charity: help people in need
appeal: ask
sahih al - bukhari 24:31 in muhammad muhsin khan, the translation of the meanings of sahih al - bukhari, volume 2. copyright 1977 by kazi publications.
according to this passage, what did muhammad say his followers should do if they are too poor to give money to people in need?
they should steal from a rich person to give to the poor.
they should find other ways to help people.
they should not worry about helping others if they are poor themselves.
they should ask god to make them rich so they can help the poor.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1 (steal from rich) is unethical and against Islamic teachings.
• Option 2 (find other ways) aligns with the idea of charitable giving and helping others through legitimate means, as Islamic teachings promote helping the poor through proper channels.
• Option 3 (not worry about helping if poor) goes against the spirit of charity and helping others emphasized in Islamic teachings.
• Option 4 (ask God to make them rich) is more about seeking wealth for oneself rather than directly addressing helping the poor, while the focus is on actions to help others when one is poor. So the most appropriate is finding other ways to help.

Answer:

They should find other ways to help people.
