Deutsche Bank Jumps on the Financial Jihad Bandwagon with Online Zakat Settlement
Posted by shariahfinancewatch on June 18th, 2010
Deutsche Bank (Malaysia) Bhd (DBMB) has launched an online zakat settlement solution in Malaysia.
A subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, DBMB is the first foreign bank to provide an end-to-end Islamic tithe collection solution which is Shariah compliant.
As regular readers of SFW no doubt know, zakat is used for a variety of purposes, but one of those purposes, by Shariah law, is to fund Jihad.
In fact, to avoid funding Jihadist groups fighting in the way of allah, Muslims who are donating must disregard their own law.
Shariah mandates that Muslims donate zakat to charities and it also mandates that a portion of those zakat donations go to Jihad.
The most authoritative source for such information is a book which is available on Amazon called “The Reliance of the Traveler, A Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law.” That book has a whole section devoted to the rules of zakat, including “THE EIGHT CATEGORIES OF RECIPIENTS.” On page 272, section h8.17, one category is labeled:
THOSE FIGHTING FOR ALLAH
The seventh category is those fighting for Allah, meaning people engaged in Islamic military operations for whom no salary has been allotted in the army roster (O: but who are volunteers for jihad without remuneration). They are given enough to suffice them for the operation, even if affluent; of weapons, mounts, clothing, and expenses (O: for the duration of the journey, round trip, and the time they spend there, even if prolonged. Though nothing has been mentioned here of the expense involved in supporting such people’s families during this period, it seems clear that they should also be given it).
This passage, from this widely-used Shariah text seems to have been written expressly about zakat payments to charities which have funded Al Qaeda, HAMAS, Hezbollah and the Taliban. Note from the passage that such payments are meant specifically for irregular forces who are not part of any army roster, which describes terrorist/guerilla/insurgent groups exactly. Note that they are meant for “Islamic” military operations and not secular groups (i.e. HAMAS and not the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command). Note that such payments are made even if the recipient is affluent…like Osama Bin Laden. And, finally, the families of fighters are to be taken care of, such as payments by Saddam Hussein and Saudi princes to families of Islamikaze bombers in Gaza and the West Bank.
All too often, the destinations of zakat payments are to Jihadists, simply because Shariah mandates it.
And Deutsche Bank is helping…
