Ruling on paying zakah to Qur'an memorization associations
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : We are proceeding from our rule, my brothers. Ameen. We have prohibited oral questions because we have many written questions for the sake of safety. Oral questions cause confusion, with this person asking from here and that person asking from there, and the benefit is lost. However, the brother who asked about a Qur'an memorization association: is it permissible to pay zakah to it?
Answer : The answer is: if there are poor people among them, then there is no doubt that they are the most deserving of it to meet their needs. As for if they are wealthy, then it is not permissible to pay zakah to them. That is how it is. To encourage them in that. Yes.
