The Zakah of the Blood Money Fund

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, they suddenly established a fund, especially in places where there are valleys. Does it have any partners?

Answer:
If it is designated for blood money and nothing is returned to them from it, and they do not trade with it or receive profits from it, then there is no zakah on it, because its use is a channel for zakah, which is assisting the needy.
