Question:
This questioner, Khalid, asks: Is it permissible to pay zakah to associations for the memorization of the Noble Qur'an?
Answer:
Zakah, as Allah has specified it,[At-Tawbah 9:60] up to the end of the eight categories of recipients. As for charitable projects, such as building mosques, Qur'an memorization schools, orphanages, and the like, these are not funded from zakah; rather, they are supported by voluntary donations. Yes.
