The Ruling on Paying Zakah to a Qur'an Memorization Circle

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible for me to give the zakah of my wealth to a Qur'an memorization circle for the sake of the teachers?

Answer:
No, Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has specified eight categories for the distribution of zakah, and it is to be placed in those and not in associations or in… Ah, I mean, acts of righteousness are to be reserved and preserved. No, yes.
