Question:
The questioner says: We are residents in this country and we have an association. We make contributions from which we pay the rent, electricity, and water, and we help the needy among the members and send some aid to our country. His question is: Do we pay zakah on this money, given that it reaches the nisab when the lunar year completes?
Answer:
No, money collected for charitable works is not subject to zakah, because its use is the same as the use of zakah. Yes.
