Paying Zakah to Charitable Organizations

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to give some of our zakah to charitable organizations?

Answer:
Zakah is paid from the one who owes it to the hand of the needy person or to his agent, and it must not be delayed. An association may delay it or mix it with other things, so you must pay the zakah and handle it yourself or through your agent who delivers it to the needy person. Yes.

May Allah bless you,
