Can non-Qataris do charity work in Qatar?
Assalamu alaikum,
Is it allowed for non-Qataris living in Qatar to raise money for charitable causes outside of Qatar?
Some friends of mine in the U.S. are building an Islamic school, and have asked me to help them find financial supporters here in Qatar. It is a legitimate and professional non-profit effort. However, things still must go through proper channels.
Thus, I am asking anyone who might know about these things:
1) Are there specific legal processes required for this kind of fundraising here in Qatar?
2) Are there cultural, political, or other sensitive issues to watch out for in this regard?
If you have any tips on these questions, or other advice, let me know.
but I have only been here one year so far, and I haven't developed a relationship with any of the ulema yet. You think I should approach them with my question?
As a female I have access to some of the Ulemas in Qatar
As a male shouldnt you know more than me
I don't bet. I'm not a Jew, Eco!
I bet your knowledge in Charity funding is ZERO
... if you don't have "wasta"!
and to get such an approval is next to impossible...

You cannot raise charity without approval from the Government!
