Question 1: Is it allowed to buy cows from the donation money of a religious or welfare institution to sell them for collective Qurbānī?
Answer: It is not permissible to invest donated money in business. For such uses of donation, it is essential to obtain prior explicit permission from the donor. (The donation of the only that donor who has given permission can be invested in some permissible business. It is not allowed to lend donated money to someone without the permission of the donor either.)
Question 2: If a person gives the Qurbānī skins of sacrificed animals to the poor every year, how is it to deprive the poor by making individual efforts on him and receiving skins from him for a Madrasaĥ or for other religious activities?
Answer: If there is such a poor person who is really dependent on the skins or Zakāĥ or Fiṭraĥ, then it is not allowed at all to take donations for one’s institution depriving him of them. However, if such poor people are not dependent on the skins, then the owner of the skin can use it for any other purpose he likes. For example, he can give it to some religious Madrasaĥ.
