This video highlights one of the reasons that American laws over charitable giving must be changed to allow humanitarian gifts free from the possibility of prosecution. It is the US government's unprecedented war on charitable gifts that most threatens aid to innocent widows and orphans in the Muslim world, a world where US-led and US-proxy violence continues to destroy the lives of Muslim men, women, and children. The laws in the US governing charitable gifts have been under review, so please consider urging your legislators to protect donors who only desire to give a gift that could bring relief to the suffering of widows, orphans, the starving, and the sick. One bill which would accomplish this and other laudable goals is H.R. 3845 sponsored by Congressman John Conyers. Learn more about the bill and urge others to do so, too.

Bismillah walhamdolillah. May Allah accept my repentance and yours. I am an attorney, a stepfather, a husband, a son, and a Muslim. Studying Islam is a means, reflecting what I have learned is a must, and to Allah is the inevitable return. If you would like my help, know that Allah is the source of all aid.
