Accidentally gave to a church fundraiser

Assalamu alaikum, I was driving and saw some folks selling drinks by the road for a fundraiser. They didn’t mention what it was for, so I gave a guy 10 dollars thinking it’s a good cause. After, he thanked me and said it helps the church. I feel awful because I didn’t want to contribute to a church. I meant to do a kind act but now it feels off. Any advice?

Oof, I’d feel weird too. But honestly, you didn’t know. Maybe Allah will reward you for your good intention anyway.

Sis, your intention was pure, and Allah knows that. That’s what matters most. Think of it as sadaqah for a thirsty person, not a donation to the church. Don’t stress.
