Question:
Regarding the eight categories of zakah recipients, there are also some other expenditures that have come up, and many people ask about them. For example, what is the ruling on spending zakah in building mosques, or in a Qur'an memorization association, or in endowments?
Answer:
This is not among the eight categories of expenditure; it is outside the eight categories. Endowments are funded by donations and voluntary charity other than zakah. As for zakah, it is not distributed except in the eight categories, or in one of them. Yes.
