Intermediation in Delivering Zakah to Those in Need
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. The other question asks: Is it permissible for someone to tell a person he knows among the people of good that he knows a family in need, with the intention of avoiding embarrassment?
Answer:
If he intercedes for them, there is nothing wrong with it. If he is trustworthy, there is nothing wrong with it. He gives it to the needy among the people whom he mentioned, provided he is trustworthy and the owner of the zakah considers him trustworthy and gives it to the needy; there is nothing wrong with it.
