Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible to give charity to an association so that it can buy medical equipment to distribute to the poor?
Answer:
As for zakah, no, you do not give it for this. As for voluntary donations, if you are confident that it is a charitable association and that it delivers what is given to it to the needy, or benefits the needy, and if you are confident in it, then there is nothing wrong with the donations. As for zakah, no. Yes.
