Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He asks: Is it permissible to pay zakah to communities for printing books, because they are in the cause of Allah?
The Shaykh : Did you understand the question? Did you get it? The next one, okay? And how? I mean, is it permissible to print books for communities? Don't look at it. The reason for standing up is that it came on the light. Did it go away now? Did it go away? So it came in the sleep. Rest. Okay.
The questioner : He asks: Is it permissible for me to pay zakah for printing books for communities?
The Shaykh : I say it is not permissible, because we mentioned to you a little while ago that "in the cause of Allah" means jihad in the cause of Allah through fighting. As for da'wah (calling others to Islam) and printing books, we do not see that as permissible. This is to be paid out from voluntary charity, voluntary alms, donations, or the like.
