Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu 'Abdullah, please, Abu 'Abdullah. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. I have a question, if you please: Is it permissible to spend zakah with orphan support associations, for example, Akaf al-Baytayn? Yes, spending zakah for the support of an orphan, O Shaykh?
Answer:
If you know the orphan and deliver it to him, or give it to someone you trust as an agent for the orphan to spend it in his benefit, then there is no harm. Yes.
