Paying Zakah Without Informing the Recipient
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah bless you. One of the brothers says: I have a sum of sixteen thousand riyals, and a lunar year has passed over it. I paid its zakah to a needy friend of mine, but when I gave it to him, I did not say it was zakah so that he would accept it.
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. It suffices for you, if Allah wills, and it is valid. Yes.
