Question:
Is it permissible to build a dwelling for a poor man and his family from zakah funds?
Answer:
This is permissible, but they say that this ties up the zakah money and nothing reaches the poor. So if this work means it consumes the zakah, it is not permissible, because it withholds the zakah from the other poor people. Yes.
