The Supreme Court of Pakistan has affirmed a decision to provide financial assistance to two Hindu girls, Manisha and Meena, through the Bait-ul-Mal, a state-run welfare institution. The court dismissed objections raised regarding the provision of aid to non-Muslims, upholding the principle of welfare for all citizens regardless of religion. The initial case stemmed from a petition challenging the allocation of funds from the Bait-ul-Mal, intended for needy Muslims, to the two girls in Sukkur, Sindh province. The court ruled that the Bait-ul-Mal’s mandate extends to providing relief to all destitute individuals within Pakistan, citing Islamic teachings of compassion and welfare for all humanity. Justice Munib Akhtar, leading the bench, emphasized the importance of not excluding anyone based on faith when it comes to providing essential aid. This ruling reinforces the constitutional guarantee of equal rights for all citizens of Pakistan, regardless of their religious affiliation, and sets a precedent for inclusive welfare policies. The court’s decision supports the ongoing efforts to promote religious harmony and social justice in Pakistan.
