Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: In some disbelieving countries, there are Islamic minorities, and there are some mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah) who cause severe harm to the Muslims. Is it permissible to give this harmful person from the money of zakah to stop his harm from us?
Answer:
No, give him from other than zakah, give him from other than zakah. As for zakah, it is not given to those whose hearts are to be reconciled except by the one in authority. Yes.
