"Ad-Da'wah ash-Sharee'ah, its callers spend from their own wealth, as embodied in the saying of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم):  "And do not ask the people for anything", and by that they are also in agreement with the Prophets (صلى الله عليه و سلم) saying:  "The upper hand is better than the lower hand."   Ad-Da'wah as-Siyaasiyyah (the da'wah of the political groups and parties) , its collection boxes and bank allotments and asking the people (for their money) is their constant, inseparable characteristic. Indeed it is from their most apparent traits! And they believe that these financial resources are a mainstay of their da'wah and their activities."
