Money . Orphan . Donation

Can I consider both of my vows valid if I use the money I set aside monthly, as a Mannat, in the name of Fatima Zehra (sa) and which I usually donate to Islamic centres, to provide for an orphan instead?

Mannat must be done as your intention was when you did the Mannat with out any change. Fulfilling every Mannat is obligatory. Your sponsorship or help to orphans is a different matter. If your Mannat was to give a certain amount to charity on behalf of Fatima Zahra (AS), you must fulfill your Mannat to any good cause which comes under your intention when you did the Mannat. If you had in your intention helping orphans, then you can help orphans from the money of that Mannat, and do it in behalf of Fatima Zahra (AS).

Wassalam.

Bismihi ta'ala

Yes, of course you can do that, and it is rather recommended to do charity work and noble deeds on behalf of others, alive or passed.

You will indeed be rewarded equally, if not more for your consideration of doing good deeds on behalf of others.

And Allah knows best

Money . God (Allah) . Donation

If I gave my money to someone for donation but that person did not donate and kept it for himself without my knowing, will my donation be accepted by Allah (swt)?

You will be rewarded for your kind intention of giving in charity, but if you come to know that the charity money was not given to the deserving, you must take it back from him and make it reach to the deserving. Your donation will be accepted when it reaches to the deserving.

Wassalam.
