UWT aims to help support
the helpless family left behind, and also help provide legal advice
(through third parties). Support offered is usually ongoing and in
the case of the family left behind, they are in principle very
similar to orphans and widows.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) has said,
"..Whoever fulfils the need of his Muslim brother, Allah
will fulfil his need, whoever relieves a Muslim from
difficulty, and Allah will remove his difficulty on the
Day of Judgement."
(Bukhari)
