Summary
Muslims are likened to a single body, so when they learn that fellow believers are suffering hunger and starvation, it becomes an obligation upon every believer to extend help. This Bayan Linnas suggests several efforts, including praying to Allah to ease their burden, even praying for them without their knowledge. Muslims are also encouraged to donate to trusted organisations that channel aid to the victims, even in small amounts.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh yang demikian, hadis ini jelas mengajar kita bahawa apabila kita mendengar dan mengetahui terdapat saudara mara kita yang sedang berada di dalam keadaan lapar, dahaga, dan kebuluran, maka menjadi kewajipan bagi kita sebagai seorang mukmin untuk menghulurkan pertolongan.
