Is it sufficient to simply give the zakah to a trustworthy person, or is it necessary to ensure it reaches the one who is entitled to it?
Answer:
The obligation is not discharged until it reaches those who are entitled to it. It is not discharged merely by paying it to a trustworthy person until it reaches its recipients. As long as it has not reached them, it remains a liability on him. Yes.
