Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: This is a questioner from Europe who says: I know a girl who will enter Islam, if Allah wills, and she works in a restaurant serving intoxicants. So I promised to help her financially if she enters Islam. His question is: May I count this money that I will give her as zakah, and consider her as one of those whose hearts are to be reconciled?
Answer:
Giving to those whose hearts are to be reconciled is specific to the Imam, who spends it on those whose hearts are to be reconciled, but not for anyone other than the Imam. Yes.
