Wa Sall Allahu ta ‘ala Sayyidinaa wa Mawlaana Muhammadin wa ‘alaa Aalihi wa Sahbihi wa sallim
Qaala Nabiyyu Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa sallim “al majaalisu bil amaana.” The Holy Prophet Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa sallim is reported to have said; “The Majlis is a trust.”
In accordance with the above cited hadith and the social services code of professional standards Madinah Food Pantry and Family Services which is a social services organization, protects the identities of both client and donors. Just as there is doctor/patient and lawyer/client confidentiality so too there is social worker/client confidentiality.
There are those who have donated to Madinah Food Pantry and Family Services who wish to donate directly to some of our clients. There are others who are hesitant to donate because they cannot donate directly to our clients. The information our clients give us concerning their particular condition is given in confidence trusting that we will not divulge their personal information to others. The Holy Prophet Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa sallim said; “The majis is a trust.” The information we gather when interviewing clients and filling out an intake form for them is treated with strictest confidentiality.
