Question:
This questioner says: I was given zakah to distribute it to the poor and the needy. Is it permissible for me to place this money in an endowment that generates income for the eight categories of recipients?
Answer:
The zakah. You were given the zakah to deliver it to the poor immediately. So do not withhold it and say, "I will buy a property with it" or "I will buy a time with it." Do not withhold it from them. Yes.
