Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is another questioner, Abdullah Muhammad from Riyadh, who asks (may Allah preserve you) about giving zakah to non-Muslims among the workers, and that is to win their affection?
Answer:
It is not permissible to give zakah except to Muslims, and it is not permissible to give it to non-Muslims, and it does not suffice if it is given to them. As for doing good to them from other than zakah, that is a good thing. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
