Sadaqa (Charity)
Is it superior merit to give Sadaqah to an orphanage, Masjid or Imambargah, or instead to the destitute on the streets?

If your intention was to give Sadaqa for the poor and needy, then you have to give it to a poor or needy after being sure that they are poor and needy. Many of those who beg on the streets are not needy, so giving hem will not fulfill your responsibility to give to the poor.

If your intention was to give Sadaqa for any good cause, then you can give it to orphanage, Masjid, Imambargah or any good cause including poor and needy.

Marriage . Sayyid . Sadaqa (Charity)
How is a Sayed girl allowed to marry a non Sayed man when Sadqa is not allowed on Sayed but allowed for non Sayeds? Doesn't it make any difference that the Sayed girl is from the progeny of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)?

as salam alaikum

there is no relation between a Sayyid girl marrying a non-Sayyid man and the sadaqah that is not allowed on Sayyids. So it doesn't make any difference that a Sayyid girl is from the progeny of Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family, in this regard. In Islam, Muslims are encouraged to marry a pious and religious people, committed to the Din in order to please Allah Almighty, be they Sayyids or not.

With prayers for your success.

Sadaqa (Charity)
Can we give charity on behalf of a living person without letting them know? Is taking their name necessary while giving such charity?

  1. Yes it is very good to give charity on behalf of a living person with out informing them. In fact, it will be much better than informing them, because when it is done secretly for the sake of Allah, Allah will reward you more because there is no intention to gain praise from the person you did the good deed on his behalf.
  2. No need to take their name, but only to know in your heart that you are giving the charity on behalf of him for the sake of Allah.  Wassalam.
