The Ruling on Giving Zakah to Cleaning Workers and Servants
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: The workers who come to work in these lands, such as cleaning staff and mosque attendants and others, it is known that their salaries are low and insufficient. Is it permissible for me to give from my zakah to those among them whom I know?
Answer:
Yes, if you know that he is a Muslim who is upright and that he is poor, then give him from your zakah. Zakah is for Muslims, for the poor and the needy. So if you know that he is God-fearing in his religion, that he is poor, and that his salary is not sufficient for you and he has no income that is sufficient for you, then expand the scope of the zakah, even if he is one of the workers. Yes.
