Question

At work they collect money for non-Muslims deceased and or their family member. Can we give money for this collection?

Answer

If the families are in need, you may assist them. However you should not contribute towards the burial expenses.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
