Do workers in charitable associations deserve zakah as being among the category of those who work on it?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, do workers in charitable associations deserve zakah as being among the category of those who work on it?

Answer:
The authority to give to the workers lies with the one in authority. The general public do not have this right, nor do they pay wages from the zakah. Unless the one in authority gives it to them in their capacity as workers on the zakah. They are not working in a school; they work for the zakah, collecting it, measuring it, carrying it, and striving to gather it. The one in authority gives them from it. Yes.
