RIYADH: The grand mufti of Saudi Arabia has given his backing to the launch of the third National Campaign for Charitable Work on the Ehsan platform.
Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Al-Sheikh, who is also the president of the Council of Senior Scholars and General Presidency of Scholarly Research and Ifta, called on all benefactors to support the national campaign — which began on Monday — especially in the last days of Ramadan.
The grand mufti said the platform made it easier to reach those in need as it facilitated the collection of donations and ensured that they reached beneficiaries in accordance with the highest standards of governance, transparency and conformity with the requirements of the Shariah.
He also praised the efforts of the Saudi leadership in serving the community and checking on citizens’ needs through national platforms that contributed to helping the needy and the poor.
Ibrahim bin Abdullah Al-Husseini, chief executive of Ehsan, said the campaign would accept donations from companies and individuals for the remainder of the holy month through the ehsan.sa website and its call center.
