Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh, a group has a cooperative fund in which they each contribute fifty riyals per month. This fund was used to help a person who was involved in an accident and was injured, or to pay a condolence gift or something similar, or to pay blood money for a person who was going to be imprisoned, and he was given a sum from this fund. Does this fund require zakah, or does it not?
Answer:
There is no zakah due on it; because its expenditure is the expenditure of zakah, which is assisting the needy. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
