Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: What is your opinion, Honorable Shaykh, regarding one who gives cash to official charitable organizations for the purpose of breaking the fast of the fasting person?
Answer:
Donations are fine, but as for zakah, it is not to be placed except with those who are entitled to it. Either he delivers it to them himself, which is better, or he appoints someone he trusts to deliver it to the needy, and he must not withhold it. Yes.
