The Religious Authority His Eminence Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Ali al-Sistani called on everyone to cooperate and join efforts to help poor and needy families, in light of the curfew imposed in the campaign against the coronavirus pandemic.

A statement from his office read: 

“Charities who are financially propertied, to the extent possible, should participate in this field and have the opportunity to enumerate whatever they do within their legal rights and observe the rules set in the way of spending and distribution of the budgets.

Merchants and traders who have foodstuffs and the like, should offer their goods at a subsidized price, without any increase.

A group of zealous youths should be volunteered to identify deserving families and deliver the materials allocated to them after coordinating with official factions and must do all preventive measures that protect them from being affected by the virus.

The owners of Husseini Processions, those who oversaw the supply of the requirements for the brave militants during the days of the war against ISIS, should put their activities in the way of supporting the affected families (along) with observing the above mentioned issues.

We ask God Almighty to reach out everyone’s hand towards whatever is good for all and to dispel the calamity from the country that He is Kind and Gracious.”
