Is it permissible to give the alms of breaking the fast to charitable associations?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Eid Abbasi : Regarding the alms, is it permissible to give them to charitable associations?

The Shaykh : We said that it is obligatory to pay the alms of breaking the fast before the festival prayer. If we are assured that these associations observe this obligation, there is no harm in using them as a charitable intermediary. However, if they are lax, as mentioned in a question from some of the brothers just now, that if we designate a specific person, is there any harm in giving him the alms after the festival? No, it is necessary, whether you designate a person or not, that you hand it over before the festival prayer so that it is an accepted alms. Otherwise, it is merely one of the voluntary alms. Likewise, a charitable association may be given the alms if it undertakes to deliver them to their rightful recipients before the festival prayer, and it must be guaranteed that this will be done.
Yes.
